Virtual Schooling Is My Nightmare––An Open Letter To My School Board

. It has been no easy task handling these incredibly high-pressure situations with professionalism. Many states have failed our schools by punting to the local level the difficult policy decisions involved in determining how to educate children in a time of COVID. States, with their resources and, would certainly have been better positioned to make these decisions, and now the rifts and discord that followed in our communities feel like they may never heal.

Of course, in parts of the country where vaccination rates are better than Florida and Kentucky, it is easy to say that would never happen here. Towns with high vaccination rates should be proud. The only problem is that 100% of students under 12 remain unvaccinated, and we have seen mounting evidence that some of the vaccines offer less protection against the Delta variant, although thankfully, it still provides enough to keep the vaccinated out of hospitals and morgues.

Even more concerning for our kids is that parts of the country are already seeing another deadly virus,, circulating at peak levels, unseasonably early. If you are a parent, and have never encountered RSV, consider yourself very fortunate. It not only can be life-threatening , once a child has had it, the child is at greater risk for developing a recurrent wheeze and asthma in later life. My own twins had it in the first year of life seven years ago.

My too-young-to-be-vaccinated children will wear masks either way, but I realize that my children wearing a mask will only go so far in protecting them if a contagious person is in the room without a mask. And eventually, there will be a contagious person in their class. Already this year, we have seen a parent send their COVID positive kid to school in Nevada, potentially exposing 80 people.
