[quote=Anonymous]As a parent of an 8 year old, i'm not very worried at all about my kid's safety or the safety of my family. We both work from home and plan to continue to socially distance. We will not be sending COVID to school or out into the community.  Though DS may pick up COVID at school and bring it home - where it would be confined to our nuclear family of 3. Statistically, our healthy family has lower risk from COVID than from, say, a car accident.

I worry about other kids bringing COVID to school and making teachers and admin sick.

I am very, very worried about my SN kid -- who already has social issues -- not having a single social interaction with another kid for 1.5 years.  DL was particularly useless for this population -- who struggle with the stimulus of Zoom meetings, delayed maturity, executive planning and attention issues.

So for our family, i consider the risks of in person school (both giving and receiving COVID) to be close to zero, and the risks of DL to be as high as, say, a year of letting DS watch tv for 8 hours a day.

But this author's point is that we should be worried for our own kids - which is not true for us.    [/quote]
