Fuck you, Matt.
My 15-yr old was THRILLED to get back to in-person school last fall, as long as there was an ENFORCED mask requirement. Now he & his friends are watching their classmates and teachers getting sick & having to quarantine left & right, and want to go virtual again.

The risk to him personally is low—he’s vaxxed & boosted—but no one is enforcing the mask mandate and both kids & staff are getting sloppier about it, not better. Having random schmoes as substitute teachers almost every day doesn’t exactly make for a strong learning environment.
Many of the teachers/students aren’t absent because THEY’RE sick but because they’re caring for a family member who is or they have to quarantine. Going fully remote would allow many of these teachers/students to still teach/attend for the next few weeks…but “hybrid” is a mess.
“Hybrid” doesn’t just mean setting up a camera and a Zoom link for remote kids while the teacher has their regular class in person with the rest of the students. It requires a completely different style and having some kids in person while others are online is awkward at best.
