Huh? Where’s the bad motivation. There are plenty of public school parents who are now re-thinking their enrollment in private now that mcps is re-opening and many privates are running scared and haven’t opened. Perfectly reasonable to be considering this.

Either way there are going to be a lot of private school parents withdrawing especially for those schools who pulled the old switcheroo and pretended they were going in person and then switched to DL at the last minute. A mass exodus is coming.

You belong in public. Don’t let the door hit you on the way out!

You can take the mom out of public, but you can’t take the public out of...well, you know.

Lol. There you are.

As an independent school teacher, I hope you do go back to public. The public school parents who fled public in a panic are the most demanding parents in our community, and they’re disrespectful to staff members. The long-standing families who witness such behavior are embarrassed for them. Also, even privates that haven’t announced yet will be back by early November, likely at greater capacity than MCPS. But I’m not going to talk you into sticking around. And you can sue, but you’ll lose. I’ve seen it happen. Hopefully you have tuition insurance or a school head who just doesn’t want to deal with you.

Lies! Give an example of how public school parents are worse. Right! You can’t. I strongly dislike people like you who traffic in lies and stereotypes. Two things you should know: 95% of private school teachers graduated from public schools so you are entrusting your “special snowflakes” to be educated by teachers who had public school parents - oh my! Also, MOST private schools were struggling financially because of COVID. Believe it or not the public school parents have saved many of these schools by enrolling. Next time you see a public school parent, thank them before they leave and your little private school that spends most of its time holding the hand of your unmotivated child ( who “lacks executive functioning skills”
which is private school parent code word for “my kid is lazy”). Public school parents now see why you like privates so much. A lot of the behavior kids get away with in private would be properly addressed in public school. The secret is out! It’s not that the academics are better - the coddling is - and small class sizes allow for more coddling. We are no longer fooled by you guys!

I don’t have to prove anything. You just did it all on your own.

Yep. Count me as one of them.
I am waiting for MCPS to truly open to move back. I may end up doing private for the whole year but I am out next school year.

Debbie downer speculator.

Went to my GP for my flu shot and he’s been to tons of virtual conferences. Flu season in latAm was very mild. Zero deaths in Argentina. And with niL travel or illegal immigration from the Southern Hemisphere to the northern these days, It won’t be brought up here rapidly like usual.

FYI the four strains in this years shot are not from last Dec-Feb flu season here, it’s always from the Southern Hemisphere’s winter flu season strains from August. It was record low in numbers due to social distancing.

As usual mass media won’t cover it, doesn’t fit the apocalypse narrative.

Next excuse?

Myopic much? The point is that with the winter comes other respiratory illnesses and symptoms that are the same as those of COVID. Cold and arid weather? Dry nasal passages, sinus infections/congestion, sneezing, coughing (from post-nasal drip), and sometimes a mild fever. Colds? Congestion, headaches, loss of taste/smell. Influenza? Congesion, high temperatures, coughing, GI distress. You are so focused on furthering your own narrow point of view that you miss the forest from the trees.

Hence the >98% negative test rate.

OP seems rather impulsive and rash.

The question she should be asking herself is:

Which DL do I prefer, and if it’s the private one, is it worth the money?

Because I guarantee that most kids aren’t returning to school any time soon.
