Parents have been forced to send their children to school dressed in multiple layers of winter clothing because of a Boston Public Schools mandate that windows be kept open 4 inches to mitigate the spread of Covid.
Based on the remote chance that leaving the windows open will prevent children from coming down with a runny nose from the mild Omicron variant that hardly affects kids anyway, parents are advised to send kids to school wearing “2 pairs of pants, 2 shirts and a sweater, 2 pairs of socks, etc.”
The only thing children are likely to learn while chattering from the cold is that the grownups in charge are nuts.
Meanwhile,
Mary Dibinga, a Boston Latin Academy teacher, suggested to the School Committee that many of the Covid rules are arbitrarily implemented, given that the school buses she’s seen have been packed with students with no social distancing due to a driver shortage.
The driver shortage probably has something to do with other lunatic Covid policies that prevent people from working if they will not submit to a vaccine they do not want or feel they need.
The spike in Omicron cases has sent school districts across the country into a panic, moving them to impose bizarre Covid mitigation measures such as forcing children to eat lunch, and teachers to take instruction, outside in frigid temperatures, while masked.
Absurdly, this nonsense is supposedly imposed for the sake of children’s health.
If one sends their children to public schools nowadays what else can they expect? Educating the children is not the business of the teacher’s union. Financially enriching their members is the main business on their agenda. I feel sorry for the children but their parents are already not taking full personal responsibility for their upbringing by sending them to these schools in the first place.
