[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is a great thread OP. Very few Americans have really experienced hardship. Both my parents had to end their educations in elementary school for financial reasons. My mother never continued, but my father went to get an associates degree after dropping out of school in Jamaica in 3rd grade! He went from having a 3rd grade education to an associates degree from a community college and had a productive 35-year career as a lab technician at a top university. [/quote] That's exactly why I posted this. We are a lot more resilient than we think. There is so much we can do to help our kids bridge this. There is no doubt in my mind some disadvantaged kids will fall behind and perhaps never catch up. That really sucks. However, they will have a chance at life at the end of this that they might not have if we open up prematurely. We need to start thinkinging now about how to bring those kids up to speed once this is over. [/quote]
