[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t think the current GOALS are terrible.
The problem is the PLAN, which is poor and late.  And that’s the mayor and chancellor’s fault.

I think the right thing to do is to push the council to get involved.  This mayor doesn’t have the ability to run this properly.[/quote]

OK, but if this goes down we'll lost anything for this year and next year is in jeopardy too because we won't have any track record that we can open with these low numbers.

This makes no sense - lost what?  Do you really think a first grader not reading on grade level by the end of the school year is a loss?  This will be true for all children - so everyone takes a step back and resets.  Its not a competition.  Just like with walking - some kids walked at 10 months and some at 18 but they are all walking.

And yes some children have "issues" "delays" etc. And there are a million things parents can do at home when they aren't working to help ameliorate the loss.

I have 3 a neurotypical children in my extended family, one in my home.  She won't be okay if she gets covid.  She won't be okay if she gives it to grandma.  Does it suck - it suuuuuuuuucks.  But demanding a reopening so I can be a good worker and not a good mom isn't my option.  I am job insecure.  I am working until 12 pm at night and on weekends to make up when the kids are asleep.  Do I get to watch movies and chill out not as often as I like but I also don't worry about my kid or my mom on a ventilator.[/quote]

Then keep your kids at home. Others want in person learning and they should have that option.[/quote]
