[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I mean, I am concerned by the times that I've seen purported educators on DCUM state that they:
 
1) don't listen to education research

2)  don't believe that learning loss is happening

3)  deny science.

It makes me worried about the public education my kids are receiving.  My hope is just to weed out the bad information the teachers might provide in school.[/quote]

I believe that learning loss is happening for some students. I just don’t think that means that we need in-person school NOW. I am a parent myself FWIW. If my kids “fall behind”, they can catch up later. If I or DH die, there’s no catching up later for losing a parent.

But, as a parent, I do trust my children’s teachers based on our experience this pandemic. Of their 14 teachers, only one is an issue and that’s not her competence or the quality of instruction. She’s just mismanaged some sensitive personal information about one child and was salty that we asked to talk about it. That could have happened at any point in our child’s education and is not related to DL in anyway.

This is not the most stressful time in their educations. DD had a horrible 5th grade teacher in private school and that pushed us to go public. DS had a rough 3rd and 7th grade because he was in schools uncomfortable with a smart, nerdy Black boy who was into books and art rather than sports. [/quote][/quote]
