This sucks! I knew kids won’t get to go back to finish off the school year but it makes me so sad!☹️
On top of that the uncertainty of having school in the fall is just too much.. I feel bad for my kids in elementary school. They can’t learn on zoom, especially Kindergarten kids

Maybe.

But flu season starts in the Fall. Covid will still be around. Add in flu season and it will not be feasible to have kids physically in school. Unlikely they will risk cramming kids into overcrowded classrooms and into crowded buses right before flu season, even in September.



It's not feasible to NOT have kids physically in school. To have other things open but keep schools closed? Unfeasible and also a sign of terrible priorities.

And not coming back fully until Maryland reaches Stage 3. That's not going to be by the fall.


Sorry Mrs. A they'll be back in the fall. Start preparing those lesson plans.


+1. Watch how magically we will reach Stage 3, just in time for school to start.


Yes, please!

Increasingly information is coming out that kids aren’t very much affected by COVID and may in fact not be little vectors of COVID as well. Hopefully by late summer more will be known.

Kids will not go back until after Winter Break next year.

I predict January 2021. Get used to online learning.

Isn’t winter peak season for viral spread? I thought we might begin and end the school year physically in school but probably end up home between early November and mid March (assuming testing ramps up over the summer and MD’s caseload declines)

I really hope we are there by Fall. These kids, especially the elem ones, need to be in school (and no, I don't use school for childcare).


And if you did use it for childcare, that’s okay. You should not feel ashamed.

I'm a teacher. I use school and extended day for childcare

Hoping for sooner rather than later. All of the soft skills cannot and needs cannot be met online.

My kid has an IEP and online learning is practically nonexistent for him. It's awful. I can't see this lasting til Winter Break.
