Going Back To School or Staying At Home?

As many variations of COVID-19 vaccines are starting to be produced and the number of cases is decreasing across the United States, going back to school in person is now being discussed during Board of Education meetings. But the big question students, parents, and teachers now ask is if we really will go back to school, or will the date of in-person return just keep being pushed back? As it already has been, many times.
At the beginning of the school year, the date for teaching in schools was for sometime around late January, then early February and later changed to March after a significant spike in cases. Now, as March is right around the corner and there is a shortage of COVID vaccines, people are starting to wonder if the reopening of schools will be delayed yet again.
The deadline for the back to school google form (a yes or no answer if you want your kid back in the building) has already passed, but teachers, students and parents are unsure if schools really will open again as of March. If they are, will it be because it’s truly safe to return, or because of the pressure the Board of Education has been receiving from Governor Larry Hogan?
What’s your opinion on the matter? When do you think schools really will open?
