[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DD is a rising 3rd grader with anxiety issues, having done virtual learning last year. We have opted for in-person this coming year, but the rise in Delta variant cases, and the potential risk to unvaccinated children is making us rethink about what's best for our child, who is asthmatic.  I'd like to hear from families who opted to homeschool. We are at ATS, and pulling out would mean no longer having a spot after DD leaves. If you've made the decision to homeschool, what're your main reasons? [/quote]

I'd talk to your principal.  It seems really unfair to loose a spot in these circumstances.

I sympathize with you OP.  I have an asthmatic kid so we're doing virtual again this year.  Even if we did in person DC would be out a ton.  Her coughs linger for at least a week with each cold and in this environment I can't imagine any school welcoming her with her hacking cough.    [/quote]

With masking, my kid didn't catch a single cold during the in-person days last year.  I was certainly bracing for it, but nope not one.  If you DD is good about wearing a mask, it will cut her risk for all the normal viruses too.

I also have a 4 year old in preschool who doesn't wear masks.  The teachers do, and they cohort them.  Rigorous cleaning and hand washing.  In the 4 months he's been there, he's had one little sniffle.  A far cry from what it was like with my older one who had a cold every few weeks it seemed.[/quote]
