clinic? are you serious. the health room/ your office is not a clinic. get over yourself

God you made a rude comment. Thank you school nurse for coming in everyday! To the PP all schools in Fairfax and Arlington call it the clinic. That is its name as far as schools are concerned. Get over yourself and understand the lingo here please. I found it odd when I moved here but that is local convention. Learn something. She or he wasn’t being holier than thou- that is it’s name.

Not in MS/HS - the master schedule is complex enough as it is.

I was on the fence and leaning towards resigning at the end of the year to stay home with my kids for a few years. If kids start showing up maskless, I’m out and just resigning mid-year. I’m not putting up with this sh*t anymore. Why not have a threshold at which masks come off and then back on?

Yep and the goal is supposedly to keep schools open…

Schools will stay open. Sick kids will stay home. Same as always

My concern is the lack of staff, especially subs.

I wonder how many students will show up to school next week “opting out”.

Youngkin has immediately put school children at risk. Absolutely disgusting.

Risk? here we go with another fear mongering drama queen. That is what is disgusting

+1 put unmasked kids in the back and group them among themselves for class projects.

Make them all sit outside round back.

ALL? In a regular public school? Yeah right, sure you do. There are so many public education drama queens on here.
I'm a middle school teacher. I knew back in Spring 2020 that letting my colleagues out of the classroom was the worst thing we could do. So many of them didn't want to be there anyway and were simply collectiong a paycheck. It is the dirty little secret of public education and the unions that enable this mediocrity and gorging at the public trough. Due to the pandemic, the cat is out of the bag. Is it any wnder that this has become an extremely divisive issue?

APS just issued a statement reiterating that the current mask requirements stand.

Yay I love learning that our amazing graduate-level teachers are so completely unable to read data. And I love knowing you view my kids as vectors of disease.

They were vectors of germs and viruses before COVID. 😊

exactly! what is wrong with some of these teachers? calling other people anxiety ridden? Are you kidding me?
