No complaints here.

How do you have 2 kids in separate clusters? MCPS middle school remote “learning” is a joke.

Well, they will have to move far away to have that kind of a "guarantee."

In Maryland, Montgomery, PG, and Baltimore are hit the worst, in terms of per-capita case rates. Then there's second-tier adjacent counties like Frederick and Anne Arundel. After that, all the remaining counties in MD are doing pretty well (OK, one breakout in the chicken processing plants on Delaware border, but that's isolated).

Virginia is similar -- NoVA hit the hardest, then all the rest of VA is pretty good. Plenty of places where it's a lot more likely they'll be open for school this fall.

Don’t get why you say the chicken processing plant outbreak is isolated, but the outsized fatality impact from nursing homes in MoCo isn’t?

Also, you need to educate yourself on the death rate a bit. Kent has a higher per capita death rate than MoCo. Add to that the fact that 72% of MoCo’s confirmed deaths are among nursing home residents (not community spread, unlike the processing plant outbreaks) and MoCo really hasn’t been hit as hard as Elrich and Gayles would like you to think.

Screw you. Do you actually think any of the kids at any of the schools are actually learning? It is great that mcps is feeding the kids who need it and giving out chromebooks and hotspots. But they should be doing that so that kids can learn at home. All kids. And right now, as evidenced by what is going on with my 3 kids (1 in MS, 2 in HS), there is not much of that happening and mcps does not seem to care.

MCPS does need to figure this out before the Fall. They get a pass for the final marking period, but if it's not much improved, we are out of here. Working from home, people can now work from anywhere, amd we intend to do just that. We originally moved to MC for the schools. We can leave because of them too.
