Well, I think people don’t realize that even if they put hybrid as their chosen option, that doesn’t mean that all of a sudden, their kids will be thrown back into in-person school, starting February 2020.

That will not be the case.


What do you base this opinion on?


Well, for one thing, we haven't invented time travel yet.

Should not have waited until the last minute to fill out the “survey”. The server isn’t responding. I waited because I thought it was actually a survey when really it’s a decision, and I know MCPS doesn’t really give a shit what I think anyways.

You do realize that hybrid won't start for most of the population until the county metrics are 5 cases per 100k population. We are currently at 28. So that would already require a significant improvement.


I really wish that people on DCUM would stop starting their posts with "You do realize that..." It's gratuitously hostile.

Also, I'm not the PP, but no, we do NOT know that hybrid won't start until the county is at 5 new cases per 100,000 people. All we know is that 5 new cases per 100,000 people is the benchmark they're saying they'll use, right now.

I don’t know anyone stupid enough to believe that’s what will happen.

They should have to do a new survey if they change the benchmark.

Yes- in the event they change the metrics, we are keeping our options open. Fortunately my kids are doing well with online learning.

Don’t worry. Hybrid won’t occur until MoCo is at 5 cases/100k people. That’s not going to happen for several years.

Hybrid. 6th grader in a magnet, needs the bus but in a pinch, if it's only twice a week, we might be able to find transportation.

Keeping 3rd grader and 8th graders DL. Tough decision for the 3rd grader, but we're erring on the side of caution.

Nassau County NY has more kids in school than MCPS. They have had all schools open the whole time. No problems and all teachers are at work.

NYC had the schools open.

Why are we shut?



And they also had to close down after things got out of hand.


Only 1 or two places. My old town all schools open including 1,000 kid High School whole time. My wife was talking to old neighbor and she was confused. Her and husband back to work, kids went trick or treating. My relatives in Europe all back in school. DMV is only place doing remote

My cousins and sisters are teachers in Long Island and back to school it was.


It's not. Lots of places are in school buildings, but also lots of places are doing remote.
