[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My feelings are mixed about school and we’re undecided as to what we will do in the fall.  However, both my kids struggled with DL.  They need in-person instruction.  We could (and may) get a tutor, but there are no guarantees the tutor would be strictly social distancing so we’d be taking a risk any way.  My kids have really been struggling without having the social interaction they get in school. Do they absolutely “need” to be in school?  No.  Is being kept separated from their peers affecting their social and intellectual development and well-being?  Yes.  There is no easy answer.[/quote]

We're not DCUM-wealthy, but we're plenty comfortable and can both WFH full-time.  We're still really, really worried about our kids' mental health from separated from their peers indefinitely, not to mention the impact on their learning.  They're early elementary, so full-time DL essentially means that DH and I do 90% of their work, which is hard given that we don't have total control over our schedules.

If the schools would allow school-based childcare companies operate, that would help.[/quote]
