(To begin: schools should absolutely be open. But there should be no testing, no masking and no coerced injections. That’s unfortunately not the world we currently live in.)

I am in Maryland. My kids are in 8th and 10th grade. For the last half of last year the schools did a hybrid schedule, half virtual and then some students rotated going in-person. I chose for my kids to stay in virtual mainly because I refuse for them to be masked, especially my asthmatic daughter. Both virtual and in-person were taught by the same teachers, simultaneously. (So I got to hear/see their teachers yell at the in-person kids that they needed to keep their masks on and berate them for even drinking water because they were “only drinking to take their masks off….”).

It should have stayed that way. But, instead they changed it to in-person and then having a small virtual program, taught by different teachers. They gave a small window of time to choose and you had to sign up by the end of June. Everyone else was put on a waiting list, which ended up to be crazy long. I could see the writing on the wall from this decision alone. Bait-and-switch was coming. (but they also had to put an end to parents seeing into the classrooms….)

I enrolled my kids in a virtual homeschool program. We couldn’t be happier. They both still have their sports for socialization but they are also older.

My sister still had my niece and nephews in-person. They are younger than my kids and I understand but have been warning her that it would get ugly.

She had already decided that she would not be giving consent for the testing (or the injection, of course) but she finally received the form yesterday and learned the repercussions: students will be tested at random; if no consent, it will be marked as an automatic positive test result and the student will be forced into a 14-day quarantine, with no virtual option.

Her oldest, a middle-schooler, often does not feel well in school (obviously due to the masks because he’s fine at home). She’s already gone to pick him up a few times this year. But he always texts her instead of going to the nurse because he knows they will push to test him (this is even before they knew of the above protocol). A kid can’t even go to the nurse with a headache without being tested.

They want these kids masked and injected (and constantly tested). The walls are closing in, all by design.

Another note: her school district received the largest amount of Rona funding for our state: approximately $458,000,000!!!!! Where did all that money go?????? (We already know….) They are really short on buses and drivers; they already started combining middle and high schoolers, and everyone is getting home super late but then the county asked parents last week to consider allowing older students to use PUBLIC BUSES to get home.
