The two (?) of you may see it that way, but those of us who would like a temporary all-virtual option don't see a need to shame or alarm each other. But at this point we can't seem to hear each other over the brouhaha you're causing with wooden spoons on pots and pans because you reallllllllly don't want a virtual-only option, apparently.

Thank you.

How do you discuss things with a person who denies reality? I guess you don't.

I just don’t understand how this isn’t completely clear to posters.

You have options. You just don't like them because you feel entitled to have your precious lottery school expend resources on you.

Huge waste of resources. You should go to an all-virtual school, because guess what? They'll be BETTER at it for you. But no, you want to throw a fit so that you can have a resource-intensive sub-optimal experience that caters to you because of your entitlement.

It does seem like they could just homeschool until they are happy with whatever level of safety they desire, and then go to their IB. What's wrong with the IB?

There are way more people than the posters you are arguing with who don’t think every school can or should offer a virtual option. The vast majority of parents realize their kids need to be back in school, and so do policy makers. Nobody wants the quality of the instruction for kids in school to be compromised to accommodate those who are afraid to send their kids back and have the resources to allow them to succeed at home. There are virtual options, but they may require you giving up your seat. If you really think that your kid’s life or long term health are on the line, that should be a small price to pay. Although I do feel for your kid.

Honestly, at this point it seems the best course of action is to continue to contact the appropriate officials instead of trying to convince those that are in denial of the changing situation.
