THERE IS A STATE OF EMERGENCY AND THIS ENTITLES ANY STUDENT TO EXCUSED ABSENCES.

One of the many items that MCPS should have made clear as soon as the emergency order came into effect.

Gross incompetence keeping our families as unsafe as possible, and not even bothering to communicate what's actually important.

Checked with DC's principal. No, we cannot use state emergency as an excuse for absence.[/quote]

Just call sick.[/quote]

Oh, I am. The principal is okay with it.

It's do funny, you people are such brownosing rule followers you'll send your kids into a cesspool to catch covkd because you're afraid of having absences on their "permanent record." [/quote]

+ 1. An absent record means zilch.

Something is seriously wrong here. If you feel unsafe don't send your kids. MCPS is not responsible for your kid's safety. It starts and ends with you. [/quote]

Yeah, I should amend my question (I started this thread).

I am not considering suing MCPS for infecting us. Knock on wood, they havent and won't. They won't because I won't let them. I am considering suing them for failing to provide a safe environment where my kid won't catch covid. As indicated by the current infection rates, they are keeping no one safe.

To some extent, it's not all under their control. Omicron is that contagious. Which is why keeping schools open, keeping lunch indoors, not making any effort to socially distance or allow for virtual instruction for kids who are temporarily at home is... well, it's not good.

[b]I don't really understand how anyone with actual kids in school is okay with the current situation. I mean, I'm pretty sure half of you are trolls from Virginia who probably don't even have kids, but the other half... I just don't know.[/b] Is it because you all covid at Christmas and so you assume everyone else is fine now? Some of us were watching your social media feeds for the past few months with horror: pictures of your office Christmas parties, your large family gatherings, your indoor trampoline park outings... and all I can think now is you helped make this happen. Doesnt it bother you at all? [/quote]

I'm sick of this kind of garbage from the shut it down crowd. I'm a real person, a dad, from Maryland. My kid is in school today. because school is important enough that we're willing to take the risk. I'm not a troll, I'm not jetting back from vacation, and I'm not going to parties. I've never, to my knowledge, had COVID. I'm not your fantasy of who it is that disagrees with you. Take your "horror' and shove it. The fact that you can't control yourself from calling everyone who thinks "my kid should be in school" a troll and a sociopath and a murderer has totally poisoned the discussion.

I'm also someone who, professionally, sues schools for a living. The idea that you're going to sue MCPS for any of this is nuts.[/quote]
