I agree. I have taught at both private and public schools. Those who think public schools can copy what private schools don’t truly understand how different the cultures, standards, funding, and administrations are.

I also think that ACPS will melt like ice cream in the 100 degree sun as soon as some momma with a bee in her bonnet gets upset because Larlo was asked to wear his mask over his nose and refused. I saw the video where someone said the protocol will be that the teacher is supposed to call for an administrator to deal with the problem kids like that. In the meantime, while they are waiting for an administrator to appear, my kid is sitting in the room with the miscreant who is trying to be cute. Not cool.

Couple all that with the lunatics on FB as part of the #OpenACPS movement...you gotta be kidding if you think I want my kids with that group.

We'll wait. DL is working great for us. Our kids are happy and having a blast at home. We're gonna keep doing what we're doing.


You sound like you are part of a wonderful family. Good for you and for your kids for taking advantage of this time to get closer to parents and loved ones at home.

Troll, follow the science. Or just stay home with your kids and shut up so others can live life.

"I want schools to be disease free and places where kids and their teachers don't get sick."

So, ahhhh, do like the privates are doing, huh?

There you go. It is all my fault that schools are closed. I have single-handedly masterminded this whole pandemic to inconvenience you and to make you realize that you aren't the good parent you thought you are.

If your kid is having mental health problems I think you need to look closer to home. That isn't a school issue.

I want schools to be disease free and places where kids and their teachers don't get sick. I take all the blame.

I didn't read it that way, which means I agree with "Soooooo." I add this: anything negative about #OpenACPS we agree with x1000. They are a disgrace and the behavior of their "leaders" is contemptible. A bad look all around.

The poster attacked the schools, parents, and open acps. If you are illiterate don’t post.

Same. And even if it is offered in the fall I'm not sure we'll take it. Depends on what behaviors I see in the community. When I have more trust that people are doing the right things (masks, social distancing), getting their kids vaccinated and enforcing the rules so to speak then we'll consider it.

I'm not even convinced we'll be back 5 days a week in the fall, honestly.
