Face masks will still be required, but I think some level of herd immunity could occur by after Labor Day 2021.
But why is herd immunity the bar to cross, when masked kids do not transmit between each other easily, and we'll have most vulnerable adults and teachers vaccinated soon?
We don't know what the real risks are with the new covid mutations.
Keep your kids at home for the next 2-5 years. I wish you luck in maintaining a career if you have one.
Ah, so that's one of the reasons why UC and UMC who can technically telework and can technically deal with distance learning are so desperate to take this much risk. Careers!
I, for one, will not be able to telework indefinitely. Time is running out for that. I can see being forced to go into the office before there is full in-person school.
I’m a teacher and I can’t telework at all. So I guess you should line up child care....that’s what I’ve been told
What do you call "remote teaching" if not teleworking?
I’m not remote teaching. I’m in person 4.5 days a week.

This. Everyone adult who wants a vaccine will be able to get one by spring or early summer. Once that happens, everyone who wants to be protected will be. Kids don't need to be vaccinated given their low risk of illness. Schools will open full time everywhere.

I am basing my statement that I will return to work sooner than school opens on the presumption that teachers won't return to work before me. But...if you are a teacher, and are going in to work, then my kid can go to school and I won't need childcare.
I mean, YOU don't even need childcare if teachers go into work. What's your point?

Many parents already have; few teachers have needed to do the same. In fact, they have whined at the prospect, which is rich considering it's their pretending to be able to telework that is causing everyone else (including you) to have to line up childcare.

Kids in MS are self-sufficient. I hope they go back in the Fall but am ok with them home too. The virus is crazy. I just hope the Biden Administration gets their sh*t together so our lives can return to closer to normal. It wasn’t going to happen with Trump, that’s for sure.

Hopefully during the summer when most of the US is vaccinated the OSSE will change class max capacity so that all kids can go back in-person. My concern is whether it will be full-time or a few hours a day.

God forbid people care about supporting their children!
Also, careers aren't all UC or UMC. Teaching is a career, for example, and I'm pretty sure the teachers will tell you they aren't UMC.

DP. Is this supposed to be some sort of gotcha? What's wrong with wanting to maintain a career? Do you think they are dispensable, especially for mothers? (And I say this as someone who chose to be a SAHM before Covid, can deal with DL just fine, but still thinks closed schools are the wrong policy for kids (including mine) as well as working parents.)

Agree. It’s one thing to demand full teacher vaccination (which I support) but it’s another thing to demand pediatric vaccination. That is a non-starter and has no impact on teachers.
