[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Stop complaining already.  You wanted schools open in full as normal, you got  it.[/quote]

Yup! This is what you wanted TogetherAgainMCPS, deal with it. [/quote]

We want “TogetherAgainMCPS brought to you by new and competent leadership”. We got the former but not the latter. [/quote]

Please.  It's not unreasonable to want MCPS, the public school system for the county that's home to NIH and FDA, to use *science* in determining guidelines, not whatever nonsense they deem will prevent any transmission of COVID in schools ever.  God forbid they follow CDC or CHOP PolicyLab or the guidelines Ashish Jha and colleagues outlined for his kids' school system in Massachusetts, etc.  Nope.  Instead we get quarantines for any symptom, with no thought to practical considerations or any number of outcomes that matter for kids.[/quote]

It was the same thing last year. Gayles made up his own metrics. There was no scientific basis, rationale, etc. They were just made up metrics--completely out of line nationally--designed to keep kids out of school. The district finally had to blow him off and ignore his guidance. Same thing now. Just made up guidance--completely out of line with every other district out there--based on nothing but a whim.[/quote]

Exactly.  Dr. Gayles knows better than CHOP.  Sure.  :roll:   And for whatever reason, way too many hypereducated MCPS parents didn't even bother to fact check him or to care that he was literally making things up.  And you're right, PP, it's exactly the same thing happening now, and I am having none of it.  It's embarassing.[/quote]
