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]

In elementary? Yes, they are all over each other. I had three boys in a dog pile while waiting for busses last week. They have zero sense of personal space. This is what 5 days a week for everyone looks like. Without mandatory testing, this is the best we can hope for in terms of catching cases before we have full blown outbreaks.

+1 glad they are testing bc kids will need it. There is no distancing therefore mcps Is following cdc guidelines for classes [/quote]
