This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Ours has as well. by ChicagoWave03

We have gone 13 weeks (plus the couple days this week of 5 day a week in person learning PK-8 (650 students). Grades 6-8 had a teacher test positive the 2nd day of school and went remote for 2 weeks (which was less because it was around Labor Day, and likely an over reaction since we were just starting). Since then, we have had 2 positive cases (one of which turned out to be a false positive) and no transmission within the school.

Similar to yours, we had a very specific, precise plan and seem to have followed it strictly. From conversations among parents, people seem to have been vigilant on keeping their children home when sick. As you note, the teachers in particular have been incredible.

It makes me all the more frustrated that the school has chosen to go remote proactively between Thanksgiving and Christmas (the Archdiocese had already mandated 2 remote weeks after the Christmas break).
