[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well this thread has officially made me alarmed about signing a contract on a house in HoCo.

Not the decisions of the boards, just the obnoxiousness of what I truly hope is just one person who seems to think people are "nutjobs" for wanting to discuss situations in which in-person learning will make sense.

Have, however, made an emphatic note never to rejoin Facebook reading between the lines of what fights seem to be playing out there. [/quote]

NP here, if I were you, I would be very concerned about moving to HoCo. Are you planning to use the public schools? If so you should have a back up plan.

Unlike AA (which has terrible schools, and therefore more private schools to fill the gap) I am not sure Howard has the same capacity for privates.

So, when the kids don't go back in Fall 2021 and stay virtual, there won't be space left for all of the folks that are scrambling for other options. Don't move!  [/quote]

Oops. To clear this up, I said this more in jest than anything else and in recognition of how miserable the debate is that is playing out on this board.

Kid won't be in public for a few more years so I am quite emotionally removed from this debate other than obviously caring about others and our country. I mostly started lurking to try to learn the vibe of those super-engaged. FWIW, I'm from HoCo originally and from my research the private school scene (Glenelg, etc.) seems pretty much as it was when I was in school: Totally fine but small with a lot more options if you're willing to hike it to Bethesda or Baltimore.

If things get desperate down the road for reasons other than the pandemic--and I seriously doubt they will, Howard County schools are still considered some of the best in the state for a reason--we'll figure it out. That said, there is a reason the county is considered one of the best places to live in the country. I say that not to minimize the stress that thinking about DL stretching into next year must bring to all of those impacted, just acknowledging I don't think HoCo is a hellscape. [/quote]
