They provide real-time data. ?

We (including DD"s teacher) wanted to ensure that the room had adequate ventilation/fresh air.



So once you have data that says the co2 is too high, you do what? Call from your office and ask the teacher to open a window?


My kid was monitoring and gave updates to the teacher and me - the teacher who would have opened the window more or maybe added another air cleaner.


I hope you paid for the air cleaner. I don’t get why you think a cheap air cleaner is the solution. Good luck with that. You sound annoying. If you are ok sending your child in person stop complaining about it bb


Because they are smart and know covid is airborne. Any extra ventilation improves the indoor air to lessen the exposure to covid.
The only person complaining is you.


I'm not complaining but its gross to monitor the air, complain to the teacher and expect the teacher to purchase more air cleaners and filters. If you were so concerned about covid, you would homeschool or do VA.


You keep showing up with these wild accusations about things allegedly done by people who use air quality monitors…that no one here has said that they’ve done. Why is that?


You're talking to multiple different people. I know this because I'm one of them. But not that one. What you're doing is weird and hypervigilant. Monitoring the air in your own home is fine. Monitoring the air in school is crazy. If you don't trust the air quality, send your kid to a small private and leave the teachers alone. They have enough stress without you forcing yours on them.


This, seriously. It is completely bizarre. Kids are sitting in desks not spaced out. They are hugging, sitting right next to each other, etc. Air Quality is nice but given how close they are, they will catch it given how infectious the new variant is. Teachers have enough to worry about. This is truly bizarre and you should get your mental health checked if you are minimizing how serious covid is and hiding behind things like air quality.

It will take multiple layers of mitigation from better air quality to distancing to masking to testing. Either you are part of the problem or solution but just worrying about air quality is giving you a false sense of security.

And, there have been studies about the windows opening putting students at risk as then the covid is blown to the kids nearest the windows.


Um multiple layers includes indoor air quality. That's why school systems across the country have CO2 monitors in every classroom. The idiot who thinks the CO2 monitor belongs at home flunked science. CO2 monitors are most beneficial in shared public spaces. The idea, for people that have brains, is to keep the CO2 levels low when the space is shared and when people including kids are in close contact. It's science. It's how people keep from spreading COVID. It's of course meaningless to the parents sending their kid to school to get them out of the house. For the parents that want their child to be educated a CO2 monitor is a way to keep COVID from spreading so kids can continue to learn.

Covid spreads via CO2? Who knew!


CO2 does not measure covid. It measures air circulation but MCPS choose to waste the money on other things than upgraded air quality. But, you know basic things like masking would also help. That $300 Co2 monitor could have bought your child very nice masks.

WTF are you talking about? The teacher was even more covid conscious than we were. This was back before vaccines and she was in a room with a bunch of kids every day.

We happily sent in the CO2 monitor that she (and my DD) could use to monitor. The teacher was happy to have it. And they never got high readings because the windows were open and there were good air cleaners there. It was a fun-ish way for them to be proactive in such crazy times. We let the teacher keep it at the end of that year because we didn't feel like it was needed going forward.


It would be far more helpful to donate school and cleaning supplies and volunteer your time.

Air quality is important. I monitoy indoor air and some days when AC is running I get 1500ppm towards the evening. Before I had a monitor had no idea that my indoor air was so bad.
