[quote=mombn]I am a parent at a private school and like everyone is pissed and emotional about what my kids are missing out on. 2020 sucks! What I don't see anyone posting about is what the educational experience in these schools will look like if it was in person. The more I thought about it and learned about that the more compelling distance learning with some fun and creative on campus time sounds like the ideal mix. Health concerns are one thing, but I don't want my elementary school kids traumatized and even more frustrated by learning in a bizarre, scary and inhumane environment. I urge everyone to think about the fact that many teachers are raising these concerns not because they are just lazy and scared, but also because they truly do care about our children and their educations. That is why they are teachers! Honestly a lot of you need to grow up and I hope to god you are not parents at my school or at least that without the stress you are under that you have better values and a bigger heart than is demonstrated in many of these threads. I would much rather a teacher in a one-on one online format or in a small group work with my kids on their math and help them work through something than have them isolated six feet away from their teacher and friends completely struggling through something. You think online learning was bad, well I think this would be far worse and would damage the loving relationship my kids have with their school environment. Really think about this situation people. We all want childcare, but separate your anxiety around this totally crappy situation and think about what the in person day to day really looks like and whether your kid would really be jazzed and doing their best work. There is no perfect solution here and nothing will work for every family or every kid. So sorry, but I think it is smart as parents, schools and society to prioritize safety and our shared humanity.
