Empathy. It's worthwhile.

Or you're trolling us.

You don't care if your kids get mine sick.

Are you really that obtuse? You like keeping your kid home? great! IDGAF. Keep your kid at home and they’ll never interact with my kid or anyone else and they won’t get sick. Your choice, Einstein. But quit imposing your irrational fear on others whose kids are suffering and try to make them bend to your will. You make your choices for your kids. I and there should be able to make choices for ours.

Pretty sure you are a teacher and not a parent. Troll.

No one is imposing you irrational fears. I'm sorry you're garbage at budgeting and can't afford expensive private school and now you want to take it out on the world.

🤣. Responding to the wrong person. I have one in a very expensive private this year and one going to a very expensive private next year. I am here advocating for kids, for my one kid stuck in MCPS and the the thousands of kids who are getting screwed over by the DL forever insane parents who don’t follow the science. My kids will be fine. I am worried the lives being ruined by whacko parents who haven’t read a single study about Covid since March last year. The CDC, APA, UNICEF, WHO, Fauci, Biden all demand an immediate return to school. Your astounding ignorance is destroying lives but the good news is that Hogan is finally onto you and the Teachers Union. He is going to stand up for the kids as bring this insanity to an end.

Look, you are rich and completely fake. We know you don't care about anyone but yourself. The rest of our kids will be fine. Some will do better than yours, even DL.. stop pretending with your fake advocacy and caring when sending kids to school in person during a pandemic is completely irresponsible. You only want MCPS to go back so you can justify your kids being in person. Hogan only cares about money. He's proven that over and over again. Just like you.

My DD's teacher is great and doing her best but DD still cries every day because she hates DL. And she's not retaining any of the information being taught online. It will take years to catch up from this catastrophe. But private school kids don't have to deal with any of this. One day my child will have to compete with them for spots at schools, for jobs, etc. How is this a fair system?

P.S. If someone says "just cut the coffee/gym/cable out of your life, it's easy to find a random $25,000 in your budget" I'm going to have an aneurysm.

Ok, rant over.

OP, I think you underestimate the sacrifices middle-class families make to send their kids to private school. Even for Catholic schools, which are generally less than the $25k you cite, few just have that money laying around. They've planned for it and are doing things like living in small houses/apartments in areas with not-so-great public schools, couponing/thrifting for everything, skimping on retirement/college savings. I witnessed this first hand. Heck my grandparents died in Medicaid beds without a penny to their name- but I bet they'd say that putting 9 kids through Catholic school was worth it!

FWIW, I had a number of family members and friends who attended Catholic school for part or all of their ES-HS education, and we all turned out about the same. Some schools are very good while others aren't any better than the nearby public school. Families who enroll in Catholic school during normal times are generally doing it for more than the academics.

Real middle class are not going to $25K schools as they are only earning $40-70K a year. And, even so, many don't have that kind of money.

We had neighbors who went to the Big 3 and we all have the same professions, went to the same colleges and it made no difference. There are benefits to private schools depending on the child/family but in the end, smart kids will do well regardless.

Of course they’re not going to the Sidwells and other expensive schools. Plenty of parochial schools are on the order of $10k per year and offer financial aid on top of it. Lots of middle class families who do this in PG county. But yes, still out of reach for many.

Do you understand what middle class means? If you make $70K a year, minus taxes, health care, and other things, your take home is $50K. Except on financial aid, no real middle class person is on private as even $10K assuming someone has two kids would be near impossible. And, the expensive privates don't want real low income or real middle class.

Well, take your money and buy yourself a clue
The role of president trump or Biden calling for a return to school is meaningless. Hogan is a lame duck who can't be re-elected because his time is up. He has done nothing effectual to implement testing, president, contact tracing, vaccine supply, vaccine distribution or schools. He's useless and no one in politics gives a hoot what he says at this point because he's embarrassed himself on the national stage and is on his way out the door.

What about all the rest, PP? How do you explain all of the advice abs opinions of educated people saying “open school”?

[Anonymous]

People need to stop using the race card to keep schools closed. It is insanity and the only reason it has been allowed up to now is Half the country despised Trump.
Well, now Biden is saying “open schools”.

Game over.

Or the political card. People will read about this one day and will not be able to believe local governments intentionally did this to its children.

Agree. The inauguration was two weeks ago and just like that Chicago and NYC are opening its schools. Right when the new strain is hitting and in the harshest of winter months.It's MAGIC!

NP - Your post shows that you know nothing about argumentation and logic, only ad hominems. Why do you think it is worth typing that and expecting others to read it? If you have something sensible to offer, please do. Name calling is unnecessary. Let's hope that your child is learning more "critical thinking skills."
