Can you imagine the spread of covid if they do the auditoriums given this variant is far more contagious? How quickly will they be posting here complaining abotu that.


Absolutely. I am on day 5 of Covid right now and if I were your kids teacher, I would be coughing all over them in class tomorrow.


Fine by me. Stay home if you feel sick otherwise go to work. We’ve got to move on.


Same here. Stay home if you have a fever or feel terrible and can’t do your job. Otherwise, I’m not afraid of my kid’s teacher having a cough.


So do you even Covid test or just assume a cold and ignore?


Why would you go into work if you’d be coughing all over the students? I agree with the pp who said, “Stay home if you feel sick”.

Of course I would not do that. I am just saying that after 5 days of Covid I still feel contagious...but it sure sounds like the PP would just have me treat it as a cold and move on. They would send their kids in with the same "cold"


MCPS needs to make classrooms or schools specific for those people who moved on and don't care so they can spread it around and have safer schools where parents who care. They should also require parents like that poster to work as subs once a week.


That would be a win-win, but I don't think it's logistically feasible to segregate the hypochondriacs and whiners like that.


Isn’t that why MCPS offers the Virtual Academy? Anyone who feels that we should not ‘move on’ should happily sign their kids up for VA.

The rest of us can move on. This is not 2020 anymore.


Yes, they stood up the VA to accommodate this small crowd.

What does moving on mean? Being selfish and not caring about anyone but yourself. Not caring who you pass covid onto and the impact it has on someone else. MCPS clearly failed with their mental health seminars in terms of empathy.


Nope. It means understanding that people will catch and transmit Covid regardless of what mitigation efforts are occurring. Even with vaccines, testing, masks - people still catch Covid.

You are right that some posters here do appear to need to some help with their anxiety and mental health issues. It’s been hard when people have been in fear since 2020 - it is hard to realize that the US has indeed ‘moved on’.

When will you move on?

I’m not being snarky.

I truly wonder what metric you plan to use in order to adjust to the fact that covid isn’t ever going away.


Move on? What does that even mean? I just got covid a few weeks ago and it was miserable and I still have symptoms. You can get this over and over again but I don't want it ever again.

If people used common sense and precautions we could all move on but clearly some cannot and the rest of us pay the price.


You don’t want to get sick ‘ever again’? That is truly your issue and you will have to figure out how to make that happen. It has nothing to do with the rest of us.

You can invest in high quality masks or respirators. You can leave the house as little as possible. You can do whatever you need to do.

But you cannot control other people’s behavior forever. And people get sick.

But you are going to get it again and again. That’s how highly contagious endemic viruses work. Nothing anyone does will change that.

Correct! That's where we are at! Stay home when sick, come back when feeling better. No on can really tell when they are or are not contagious.


Its not where we are at as parents and staff dont' stay home when they are sick. Be real. And, yes, you can tell when you are sick... its called testing.

Kids and staff will get sick.

There will be peaks with lots of absences. You might consider pulling your (little) kid out when covid surges through your school—especially the week before any travel or big family event (thanksgiving, winter break, spring break).

Give your kid a mask, but recognize they probably won’t wear it.

Everyone needs to live with this now. It’s the new normal. MCPS won’t shut down unless the state does.



Its hard to live with something when it makes you sick for weeks for some of us... what does live with it mean? Pretend it isn't existing? Denial must be a great thing.

The parents are saying they don't care if the teacher is sick as long as she is there. They don't care if they are positive either.
