WHAT!?! What are they trying to accomplish, further damage to our kids' and students' mental health? What is the logic? I think APS is punishing families that want to return.

It's ridiculous. APS is different for some reason?

All the APS soccer, flag football and basketball kids have been playing in outdoor leagues/games face-to-face all Fall/winter so this is ridiculous.

I’m so happy we moved. In our NE town our kids have been in school 2/week since September. We’ve had no in-school transmission. Now going back 5 full days in March. I would’ve moved away last November I f I was facing this.

Vaccines are available to teachers. No excuse for anything less than back to normal.

Do you don’t live here. But came by to gripe. That’s cool. You must be doing so well.

Trust me - it’s been a trip watching this forum and FBs Arlington Education Matters page. I haven’t posted a thing in a year, but now watching your hybrid roll out as a hot mess, I’ve just never been so happy to have left a place. 10 feet on the playground!!

Good luck to you all. I will go back to eating my popcorn, checking in on AEM in my quiet house while my kids get 35 in person hours a week.

Omg. Such a loser. You really have nothing better to do with your time?

Nope.

Your kids must be doing fine. It’s a literal emergency for some kids. They need to be back in school. Check your privilege.

i’ve been told that the Arlington Reopeneds are privileged white parents.

There was a lot of push from the North Arl parents to re-open, knowing that underprivileged students were suffering immensely, in addition to knowing what's best for their own kids. Nothing wrong with that. A majority of kids are suffering with DL

Data doesn't support that. Poorer schools almost uniformly were majority distance learning. Highest percentages of hybrid were the wealthiest parts of Arlington, poor families who have been disproportionately impacted by Covid have chosen DL. White savior complex.

It's really not that simple. Many in N Arlington don't live multigenerational households, so they don't have the same risk. Different communities also likely have different views of and information about what safety measures are necessary and likely to be taken within APS.

I certainly didn't support in person starting up again because of a savior complex. But I do absolutely think that it's time for schools to reopen with safety measures. I also think that there are kids (of all demographics) who really really need to go back. Hopefully parents whose kids fall in that category were able to have the confidence to sign their kids up for hybrid. For schools with a lower percentage of hybrid students, maybe APS will quietly allow kids to switch to hybrid once grandparents in households are vaccinated and the APS model is proven to be effective at preventing transmission.

Just to clarify....the people pushing to "open schools now!" and saying that they are doing it for "the poors" because "the poors" don't know any better are the ones with the savior complex.

Do you really believe the shit you write?
