SO much of life returned to normal, huh?

It's always hard to for people to make a protest at 3:00 pm on a workday, which kinda raises the question: what fools would decide that 3:00 pm on a workday was a good time to have a protest?

Well, yeah, so much has. Outside of schools, most everything has returned in some capacity. What else hasn't?

If that's your standard for normal life, I don't know what to say.

You can start by stop being obtuse. I clearly said "returned in some capacity". I didnt say returned to normal life.

So what, outside of schools, has not returned in some capacity?

That is exactly why we cannot open safely.

But why? I know the virus is still here. But we accept that the virus is going to be here for another 18-24 months, and we agree that the status quo is not acceptable for SOME families, then what's to be done?

The numbers are good right now and well within health recommendations to begin re-opening.

If not now, then when?

You realize the issue is that you are acting in a selfish way now putting your needs first so we cannot reopen as your unsafe behavior impacts everyone. You are back to normal and your normal is part of why the virus is spreading. If we could have stayed on lock down and stopped the spread maybe we could have safely gone back.

You say I'm acting selfish, I say I'm doing what's right for my family. For 6 months we put the needs of everyone else first and nobody even have a passing thought to the health or who being of my family or my children. It's been all about them.

Well, after seeing my children spiral into depression, I'm putting them first, not my hypothetical obese asthmatic neighbor.

So yeah, we'll play soccer and baseball and softball and go to the playground.

Because I'm done caring about my neighbors when they don't have the decency to do the same for us

What is going on with your family if spending time together and staying home creates depression? You sound like a nasty person and that’s probably why it’s not working and why we cannot return! You’d be the parent to send your sick kid anywhere for a break.

DP. You think this person sounds nasty? I really think you sound nasty by being so judgmental. You're completely following the playbook that goes, "What's wrong with you? Try being a good parent like me. Why did you have kids in the first place? You just want free childcare." Did I get the whole spiel right?

It's probably one person posting all those messages across threads.

We have one problem it's Trump get rid of him and we start to heal. Keep him and school will not matter. No vaccine will come out under him ever and who would take it anyway.

After the election the number of families that will now long have health insurance is more than huge. The number of families that will have no income only getting worse. All those factors and you people think we should head back to school?

Of course we all want kids back in school. Not happening.

Bottom line is our educational syste
m sucks because about 38% of the country still supports the Gas lighting super spreader Don the Con.

Anonymous wrote:According to article in Bethesda Beat, MCPS hasn't even started planning for returning to school. Since March, they have not made any effort to make schools safe.

MCPS NEVER had an intention to bring kids back. it's just too hard so we aren't going to do it.
Smith makes 300k with the sweetest benefits packet. We have hundreds of overpaid staff in central office. And none of them have the leadership skills to get the kids back in school.

Other districts here in the US and in other countries are moving forward. They have real leaders who aren't going to let the desires and special requests from each individual in the district stop them from meeting the educational needs of the larger population of kids.

They know how this is affecting kids mentally, they just hired more counselors!! They know that a lot of teachers are realizing this isn't working, parents realize this isn't working. And I am not talking the small percentage of kids who are doing ok with DL, I am talking of the majority of kids. But they still haven't started outlining the plan for return.

How hard is it to make few calls to other superintendents to get some guidance since no one has any clue what to do?
Secure PPE, set up schools/classrooms with social distance desks with partitions, set out sanitizer stations throughout school, survey parents to find out who will be returning and who needs bus transportation, require masks and handwashing breaks (make these MANDATORY), work with building services to sanitize high touch areas, set up isolation room, involve school nurse, establish DL program for those who can't abide by rules and don't want to come into the school. Select DL teachers and assign kids to them from the entire county population.. A kid might not get a teacher from their school, but we all must make sacrifices.






and there you have it...politics of MCPS . Liberal county all talking the talk and not walking the walk. Why Republicans disagree.
Unless you ask parents what option they want, you can't really plan, and they haven't even done that.

There are so many staff who aren't working, but getting paid...assign jobs to them, there is plenty for everyone to do.

At the end of the day, you will not please anyone, but you will have attempted to do what you are supposed to do...educate the kids.

Like Gayles said, when MoCo is down to 10-35 new cases per day, total. The metrics are there, some may just not like them.
