Are kids really going to be eating right next to each other in cafeterias? 11 and under won't be vaccinated. One of my kids is in this group.

My other is old enough to hopefully get it this summer. But I'm seeing all these parents who don't seem that concerned about Covid. Will they get their kids vaccinated?

It looks like APS listened to the loud parents demanding full time school and is catering to them. Meanwhile I want in person school but I want safer distanced hybrid over unsafe full time.

lucky for you, nobody will force you to send your kids back full-time.. Fully remote learning remains an option. Sounds like the right path for your family.

This is what I’m talking about. I keep hearing this from the open up people and I’m tired of it. People with reasonable safety concerns should not have to stay home forever because some of you don’t care.

So what would satisfy your “reasonable safety concerns”? Honestly asking.

Not the PP, but she said what would satisfy her. Less kids in the building and they don't all go to school every day.

This isn't viable, and this isn't going to happen. Learn to be satisfied with a mask or find a home-based solution that will work for you.

I don’t think we should push for hybrid but we should be pushing for ventilation, outdoor lunches, good masks, surveillance/pooled testing, etc.

Anyone who advocates for more of this crappy hybrid, I will wake up from my sideline slumber of not saying much and pitch holy hell and I think there are a lot of us out there.

Just no. It’s not that we don’t care. We do. A lot. About all of it.

I believe the silent majority this whole time is kind of fine if mildly disappointed with what APS has done and now WE ARE READY TO MOVE ON.

It’s not that we don’t care. Can you grasp that?

My position is this is a challenging situation logistically and the schools will do everything they can and we will make the best of it because getting them back is really important. Do you really think no one is working on these things in APS? I work in another local school district and they are up to their goddamn eyeballs trying to solve these issues every day and sincerely doing the best they can. Will it be a risk feee environment? No.

If what the schools are able to provide will not work for you, choose something else. That is a reasonable statement.

Why? 3ft vs 6ft vs 60ft indoors make no difference. If kids are eating 6ft apart, it’s not like the air won’t go across the room.

By fall, rates will be much lower. I am not even a tiny bit worried.

Distancing doesn’t matter for the hours and hours in enclosed rooms with lame masks.

+1 I am very worried that this is a death sentence for many because of the duration and proximity.

Ok drama queen. Bring it down a notch.

You can always keep your kids home for a robust DL education

This is truly bananas. You win the thread. Disconnected from reality.

DP. No one said anything about forever, that’s your own hyperbolic rhetoric. And please don’t pretend that your own preferred plan wouldn’t take something away from other students.

Actually, they’re listening to the Virginia legislature and Governor Northam.

OneAPS? Is that even still a thing?

They need to do random testing.
