That’s funny I just dropped mine off for the start of week 6 in person school.

That's what I'm wondering too. This post is totally pointless and not based on facts.

OP, what is your goal here?

This right here. The parents are going to have to demand better. At this point, I think there is a legal argument to be made concerning the misappropriation of tax money.

Private school parents need to pipe down. It’s not the same at all.

Private here. We’ve been back in school and all is well!

+1000.

Your kids will pay the price for this for years to come.

Some will. Others will do just fine. I posted several months ago about being a war survivor and not having school for 4 years. I eventually caught up and went to college in a different country (the US).

I agree OP. We’ve seen kids go back to school around the country in person and our kids are still at home.

And you have a crystal ball that can see into the future . . .

My kids are in FCPS but I’m already wondering when I should start “worrying” about next year. It was one thing for my 3rd and 6th graders to do online this year but I don’t think they can do it for another year. And, my kindergartner is doing K at a daycare this year but I don’t think they can offer a 1st grade there next year.

I recently brought this up to my husband but he said - no way will there be no school next year, but I am not so sure!
