[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This shouldn't need to be said, but this board is not representative of the full community of parents in DC. It skews wealthier and whiter. Loud voices on an anonymous message board and agreement among your social circle don't show "overwhelming" support throughout the city. There's a diversity of opinion here and elsewhere:

There are plenty of DC parents who chose NOT to send their kids back to school in person.  That doesn't mean that schools shouldn't reopen, but it does mean that not "everyone" agrees with you.  There are people who, for a variety of reasons, do not support reopening.  Or who don't trust that the "appropriate safety measures" will be taken.  People might be okay with hybrid schooling with reduced class sizes and six feet of distance, but not support full-time full classrooms.  Or might not trust the school's HVAC system.  Or might not trust other parents not to send exposed/sick kids to school, or trust the kids at school to mask properly.  Or might believe that any risk of a kid bringing COVID home is too high, because they share a household with a particularly vulnerable person, or because they lack paid sick leave and couldn't afford to lose time at work if they got sick.
