[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is a really good article in the NYT about "school hesitancy" and how it disproportionately impacts the most vulnerable students:

https://www.nytimes.com/2021/05/09/us/covid-school-reopening-virtual-learning.html

I see this locally too, where the most vulnerable populations are far more likely to have disappeared in DL and are far less likely to go back. I think there is a generation of kids who are severely at risk for permanent educational loss. I think ongoing DL risks severe educational damage to the most vulnerable students.[/quote]

Its an article skewed to make people like you believe its damaging.  I don't see any damage done to my children and I fully support staying DL at least till covid is under control better.  We have no seen educational loss and our children have picked up other good skills they need in life.  If you want your kids to go back and you don't mind putting them at risk, good for you but mine are not rushing back as Covid is real and serious.[/quote]

Translation: My wealthy isolated children are fine (or at least under my 100% control regardless of what is actually best for them), so I don't care about vulnerable kids. [/quote]
