Nobody ever said there’d be no art on the walls. You are all so dramatic.

I’ve seen my 5th grader’s classroom virtually- it looks like an old school classroom, with separated desks all facing the front. Walls covered with interesting things, clear plastic dividers on the desks (probably a waste of $), air purifier in the center of the room. Teacher has told kids to dress warmly because the windows will stay open. DD and her friends are excited to go back, even knowing that it will be different. We actually shopped for school clothes online this weekend since dd has been living in shorts and t shirts for a year.

oh so my kids don't get to go to school because I care about them not getting covid?

but yours do because you don't care. great equity there.

so much for caring about the low income, vulnerable. which the open uppers pretended to do.


Life’s not always fair. You make the choice to keep them home that’s on you.



from the group that claimed they were doing this for the less fortunate, now they're moved on to life's not always fair. Nice.


I'm not even sure what group you're talking about. I cam ertainly an not in it.

I don't give a s$#$ about equity at this point. Never been a high consideration on my list in good times.

Kids have not been learning for close to a year. If SOME can get back to school and learn, great. Boo hoo it's not equal for all? Tough.

We've gone over the edge with equity in this area.



At least this person is honest and admits she doesn’t GAF about anyone else. It’s not pleasant but it’s better than the people who claim to care when they don’t.

The truth is closer to something like they literally don’t understand why ventilation matters so much because they’re incurious and don’t really read so they think everyone who actually knows something is just dramatic. That’s how ignorance functions.

Don’t worry about the air??!

I’m a teacher teaching in person, am I allowed to worry about the ventilation in my room given the students will be breathing in there all day? Some of you are so damn rude. This is a really reasonable question given multiple clean air returns an hour is the biggest way to combat spread of airborne contaminants in a closed environment.


+1

This is like covid 101. Proper ventilation decreases transmission.



Of course it does, but you’ll be sitting in the room for hours. Either you get it or you won’t. It doesn’t take long. Wear your mask and don’t worry about the air.


Is that the “science” and “data” behind OpenSchoolsNow?

What a bunch of low-information losers.

Do you realize every time you and others say this, it’s the equivalent of “sit down and shut up”? The irony is that those of us fighting for safer protocols in schools are making it safer for the kids of the parents telling us to sit down and shut up.


Just sit down and shut up. No one cares.


F off, loser. Most people obviously do care.


Ok crazy ventilation lady.

What? You act like contracting Covid is just out of anyone’s control, maybe the gods decide to strike you with it or not. No. Proper air ventilation is like the main thing to make schools safe. Quit acting like there’s no point in asking about it. I want the kids IN school which means school has to be safe so it can stay open. That’s why I care about making sure there’s decent ventilation.
