You’re really worked up |
And my kid is absolutely not OK. There’s not enough time for them to change everything for the last month of school. I understand your frustration but it really isn’t going to change anything. It’s not been rolling over it’s me excepting what is |
Oh, so now it's uncool to want kids to be in school. Gotcha. Well, one more piece of evidence in favor of your keen interest in education. |
Also clearly I forgot to proofread and you can degrade my spelling errors, gleefully. |
If you're at a charter that's still mostly remote, I hope you're also prepared to accept a remote fall 2021, then. |
No, you’re feeling in a lot of blanks. With great emotion. I guess it’s therapeutic? |
It’s won’t be. |
I guess you're projecting -- you feel the need to suppress your own anger, so seeing other people express anger makes you uncomfortable. |
No, in August. I couldn’t believe how complacent people were over the summer. |
You are totally right, in retrospect. I feel like it didn't really register with me yet that other schools were totally open. Once it started to sink in that privates and parochials were opening, then I started to get concerned. I never would have anticipated in August that it was going to be ALL YEAR. I remember in July being ready for school to go back normally, maybe in hybrid. What this incident has shown me is that in the world of public administration, you have to fight against any unwanted changes to the status quo, because a new baseline can be established very, very quickly. |
No. Please stop making assumptions. It’s weird and misguided. |
ok, stop policing other people’s expression of their views then. |
| I am over this school year it was a loss. I just care about the fall. If we are not in full-time, if the school isn't offering real programs to help kids recover from the last year for at least 2-4 years forward.. then we might need to move. |
I did worry back in August that this would be for the long run, possibly even all year, precisely because DL was already the status quo at at that point and not going back after the summer cemented that. That’s why I took the kids to my home country as soon as Bowser made the announcement, and I wasn’t surprised that we were still virtual when we got back in the middle of the year. Hopefully everyone recognizes by now what a disaster this school year has been, and school will be back to normal in the fall. And hopefully when the next pandemic hits, the schools will show more resilience and not put kids last again. |
smart. if I had it to do all over again I would have moved in with relatives in NYC and enrolled there. |
