I think that opening our school district to face-to-face learning is one of the biggest mistakes we could have made to start with.

We start out allowing 25 per 100,000, then 75 and now 200. Who are they trying to kid? What is this actually doing aside from adding more risk to all of our lives. How many weeks — well, more like days — has it been since our state governor was begging people not to gather for Thanksgiving, so what has changed from then till now? My understanding is that cases are increasing not dropping, so the district is now willing to add even more risk for staff and students?

I, for one, object and will not send my granddaughter back to school until I (as one Dr. suggested to me) sit back and let other people try it and find out if it is really safe!
