[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How do we know all these "I need my kids out of the house moms" - insert reason - their education; I need to work; its not good for the poor brown kids - aren't actually teenagers trolling on DCUM.[/quote]

I literally have not heard a single poster here say "I need my kids out of the house."  I've heard many posters claiming that is the motivation of parents who want school to open.  But posters have all almost uniformly focused on their kids social and educational needs that are not (cannot be) served in DL.  "I need my kids out of the house" is a toxic WTU caricature to deflect blame.  [/quote]

Look back at other threads.  The reasons to send kids back as the infection rates soar, people traveling to hot zones for thanksgiving and during flu season have been shifting:
1. I need my kids out of the house
2. Think of how this is hurting poor brown kids I have never known or seen
3. Think of the moms who can't afford a nanny
4. My sped kid can't learn on DL
5. My kid isn't learning from DL
6. If private schools are open why can't we

It changes - they keep shifting the argument to see which one will stick to get them sympathy.  [/quote]

No, it hasn't been changing. It's been the same arguments all along.  And as time goes by, parents are seeing how badly DL is failing, so there has been an uptick in posts about that.  There may be one or two posters who say they "need their kids out of the house" but I don't recall seeing that anywhere.  [/quote]

(And by the way - your list are all GOOD arguments. As opposed to the weirdo who keeps insisting that only bad parents ever had the expectation of sending their kids to school.)  [/quote]
