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.

We moved back to full remote this week after 45 days by LondonDomer

of 5-day in person. Prior to that we were on a hybrid plan from the beginning of the year (2 days in, 3 days remote).

It was a frustrating decision because our kid's school has had 0 cases across kids, teachers, and staff. But the rest of the district has not been so lucky, and it was becoming a staffing issue with a handful of teachers/staff testing positive and then a corresponding larger amount in quarantine.

So they made the decision to go fully remote across the entire district. Wish they could have been more nuanced in their approach, and I think it has a lot to do with the teachers unions.

They've planned for the next two weeks to be fully remote and then go back, but I think we all feel that is unlikely. I'm really hoping so. Having my kindergartner and second grader at home full time is not good for anyone, especially my kids.
