There is a vocal handful on these boards that clamor for school openings and quote dubious claims by people who are not pandemic experts.
We must ignore them. They are literally pushing for more deaths.

Literally every health expert thinks schools should reopen. This is not a "handful" of voices.  The only ones against it are teachers' unions. [/quote]

The thing this guy calls for (whom I ageee with, by the way) is that schools should have massive virus testing regimes to protect teachers, a la universities. That would take a few billion dollars investment, but it’s worth it. I’m hopeful as we transition to Biden Harris, that sensible solution will come to the fore.i just feel like this school year is already too far gone. My kids are great students, 8 and 11, but so depressed. They barely go anywhere in a school day. Maybe a short wallk in the neighborhood. It’s really taking a toll. My 3rd grade cries regularly and has started having daily migraines. We do see friends on occcassion, at a park, masked, etc., and kids play tennis, but it is not enough. And as it gets colder, the isolation gets worse. [/quote]
