I'm still thinking we aren't doing 5-day-a-week in-person school until like 2023.

Also, I feel really depressed about this and DC is fading into a shadow. But f* parents and kids, amirite?

Maybe 2022, idk about all the way until 2023.

It's not an FU to parents, we had these kids. The primary caregiver is the parent or guardian, not the public school system.

The primary place children ages 5-18 spend their days is in a public school building. The ridiculous denial of the fact that our society functions and women are able to work primarily because of this set up is such a bizarre argument to make. Like, you should have planned ahead that during your children’s primary school years you would suddenly need to try to watch your kids full then during the school day every day while also attempting to perform your job.

This. And the saddest part is, many of the people making these arguments consider themselves liberals and are trying to smear everyone who wants schools to open as right-wing. Isn't that cognitive dissonance just tearing you apart?

Mmmm no. You never cared about low SES parents not being able to be on the PTA, participate in their child's education as much as they'd like, or just can't care because basic needs, and they have 2,3,4 jobs.

You don't suddenly get to claim the 'abandoned card' Low SES parents have been figuring it out forever, your turn.

I didn't mention low-SES parents. I don't need low-SES parents to make my point, which you are missing.

Who knew, one party rule isn’t such a great idea after all.

What a fascinatingly poor non-sequitur and strawman. The poster said nothing about low SES parents.

Kids of low SES parents were also in school buildings before the pandemic, yes? Did I miss that they were not?

Low SES parents suffer major losses due to no making of their own, so can you. I don't feel sorry for any of you.

And apparently neither does the school district, city, or the United States overall.

Maybe you and your friends didn't care before, but a lot of us did and have tried to do things to help. This really says more about you.

You seem like a soulless ghoul.

Anyway, this is a dumb argument. Low SES parents may have suffered major losses, and this can either 1) make them low SES in the first place, or 2) keep them low SES. There are a lot of repercussions to being low SES, particularly to kids. The solution is not "everyone should also suffer and become low SES". The solution is to help people not become low SES in the first place, or help people get out of being low SES.

Like....there are low SES women and children, right? Who are also being hurt by school closures. I know many. Particularly single mothers.

Low SES parents want to continue DL the most, they are doing their best but you can't?

Again, do not care. As soon as they feel safe the schools will open.

Just because they want to continue it doesn’t mean their kids are learning. That’s the argument I just don’t get- parents don’t always make decisions that are best for their kids! This is UMC, MC and low income parents. Why do you think there are counselors at schools or CPS? Parents are not always right!

You know you don't need to respond if you don't care. It's probably a healthy thing to do for you.

It's not a good idea to make public policy based on opinion polling.

You are not their rich and/or white savior to make decisions for them. They decide what is best for their kids, not you.

Kind of does beg the question of whether low SES parents care about learning loss.
