That’s not what he said. What he said is that it will “find” almost everyone — that is, he’s talking about exposure. Exposure is *not* the same thing as infection or illness.

Being boosted and wearing a mask is how you prevent exposure from becoming an infection. Egads, the lack of scientific literacy drives me crazy.

Seriously? Have you not been following the Omicron surge? I'm boosted and wear a KN95 mask at my school. I still caught Covid from one of my students (who wears KF94 masks). No surprise... I often sit right next to this student to help them out throughout the day. My bout with Covid happened for a couple of days at the beginning of winter break, and my symptoms were a scratchy throat and sniffly/stuffy nose. The key is VACCINATION not masks.

The key is both. My whole family is vaxed and boosted and wear KN95 masks and none of us have ever had covid. We have been close contacts and around people who ended up with covid but not us. See how anecdotal evidence doesn't mean anything?

I’m glad your symptoms were minor. We are both teachers and I don’t know that either of us would test for something like that.

Here's my prediction (watching from over the border in maryland). It will be messy and ugly for 3-5 weeks. Protests, parents keeping kids home, misc. messiness and I feel deeply for school admin who is going to be in deep water. But then it will subside. People will realize that the mask mandate wasn't actually doing much (you all realize that everyday from 9-9:15 my kid sits crammed in his hallway outside his classroom waiting for them to open everyone eating breakfast like both sides of the hall are shoulder to shoulder kids eating). Anywho, the sky won't fall and you all will be free. With any luck the fresh air will drift over the potomac to MD. Good luck and god speed.

He cant do squat about them being required on school buses: https://www.fcps.edu/news/reminder-fcps-policy-wearing-masks-has-not-changed?fbclid=IwAR3TUVHJcJQf-o_iATueqOBgeJW2JwPRetOgtR7a7oKawfbSUEhTu4wWH44

Well you will have to deal with me if you sit some maskless kid next to my child. So you will have to deal with this either from the maskless folks or the masked folks. Buckle up.

You can keep your kid home then!

So can the maskless brat.

What is the teacher to do if the student is opted out? You can’t blame the teacher.

She can move my kid and no group projects with the disease vector.

Yep. And I will make sure my child knows why she cannot be near certain irresponsible students.

No worries, I will forward every one of the emails to the principal to respond to. I’m not paid enough for that.

This is a problem. It’s the teachers that will end up getting bounced around in the middle of all of this.

I cannot wait for when FCPS shuts it all down and goes 100% virtual saying they cannot maintain mitigation strategies with parents opting out. Pick your poison. Thanks Govenor!

This is why we have admin and the main office.

Well, when the parents and kid decide to be PITAs and make someone’s life difficult, it’s not the principal or office staff that is dealing with the kid in their class.

Do what we all do. Document, submit referrals, rinse and repeat. It’s not the best, but that kid is probably already a PITA. When parents send 5 paragraph emails, I just respond with “ok.” They rarely email again. If they do, I go with “interesting.” After a couple emails, they get the hint.
