Yes, they should stop griping about MCPS following established CDC guidance. [/quote]

This particular policy is not CDC guidance.[/quote]

Stop spreading misinformation. They are following best practices as outlined by the CDC.[/quote]

Nope. Here is the CDC quarantine guidance for schools.

[i]Close contact: In the K–12 indoor classroom setting, the close contact definition excludes students who were within 3 to 6 feet of an infected student (laboratory-confirmed or a clinically compatible illness) if both the infected student and the exposed student(s) correctly and consistently wore well-fitting masks the entire time.

Except in certain circumstances, people who have been in close contact with someone who has COVID-19 should quarantine. However, the following people with recent exposure may NOT need to quarantine:

People who have been fully vaccinated
    People who were previously diagnosed with COVID-19 within the last three months
[/i]

That's not what they're doing.[/quote]

3-6 feet? We aren’t social distancing so everyone is within 3-6 ft. Also if someone vomits or is positive then whole class is exposed. Looks like following cdc[/quote]

Everyone in the whole classroom is within 6 feet of each other? Everyone? Do tell.[/quote]

Every elementary classroom. [/quote]

Poorly run ones. Oh, this is MCPS. Yes then, most certainly poorly run ones.[/quote]

The recommendations don’t say desks have to be socially distanced and so in many cases they aren’t. How is it possible people don’t know this? This was even in the mcps return to school video. [/quote]
