This. Silly argument. Actually, it makes sense that everyone else who can work remotely do so, in order to help slow the spread.

Teaching young kids cannot be done remotely. There are plenty of studies to prove that.

Just like my dentist can’t work from home.

Foolishness. A dentist can’t work from home because he/she requires to be using tools etc.

+1 agree. Kids don't learn as well VL. That's been proven.

Also, most adults don't need supervision or help with tech; many kids do.

If you want teachers in the classroom being exposed to Covid from 30+ kids a period, then you can sit in your office and type away. Leadership runs from the top.

Data shows that VL negatively impacted kids. Many teachers struggled with VL themselves. Other states and countries are still doing in person school.

Teaching and children learning is not the same as adults working remotely. There are some jobs that cannot be done remotely. Your grocery store workers are still going into work so that you can get your groceries and don't starve.

IMO, teachers are essential for education for K-12. It's different if the students are adults.

This is asinine - the infection rate in the county is highest it’s ever been and it’s completely reasonable to go virtual for a couple of weeks until the infection rate falls and mcps gets it’s act together with testing everyone. Btw not everyone is vaccinated and presumably many people with young kids are concerned

It wouldn’t change anything, though. covid will spread whether schools are open or not.

Did your dentist work from home for almost a year? Because teachers did.

You didn’t like it, but that’s your problem.

And that year made it clear that teachers can’t do their job as well online as they do in person.

I guess my dentist could have tried it also. Would have had the same abysmal results. Working from home doesn’t work well for certain professions.

Are you working in person? Its a bit ironic a parent working at home demands someone else work in person to care for their kids claiming its safe for kids/teachers but not safe for them.

Don’t bother. Every single one of these people will claim they’ve OMG BEEN WORKING IN PERSON THE WHOLE TIME!! because it’s an anonymous message board and nobody can require proof. At least half of them claim to be “frontline healthcare workers!” because they think it bolsters their argument. Of course, 90% of them are lying.

Dr. Shad Marvasti, an associate professor and the director of public health, prevention and health promotion at the University of Arizona College of Medicine-Phoenix. "....reported hospitalization is higher than they have been during the delta surge peak overwhelming the healthcare system. We are seeing record numbers for kids under the age of five. IF anyone says omicron is mild, I challenge you, who are you talking about? are you talking about someone who is vaccinated and boosted? Perhaps that would be the case and it is mild relatively so and i am seeting that clinically for vaccinated. But for someone who is unvaccinated including the children under the age of five, this is not a mild variant."

Please share the studies.

My doctor has been working remotely these past two weeks. Staff has been pulled to administer COVID testing so they are short staffed.

They continue to perform essential surgeries, but otherwise they’ve had to put some services on hold.

Yes, it’s true. Parents can’t sub. But they could definitely help out with es lunch and recess, where coverage has been a huge problem.

Schools need adults to work in them.

So could parents.

I was told parents can’t in their kid’s school. Is that true?

Then how are there virtual academies for kids K-12 all over the world? So weird.

How come every 5 year old in the US doesn’t just do online Kindergarten? If it works so well, it would be way cheaper! So weird that the idea hasn’t gone mainstream. Huh. Turns out that it’s better for kids to be around other kids and learn from an actual teacher.
