[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I live in a highly blue school district and with the exception of the spring of 2020 my kids have been doing in-person school and in-person activities this entire time. None of us have gotten covid (at least not that we know) and I don't know anyone personally who had a severe case or died. The red areas around us were even more wide open. Your individual experience does not equate to what the entire country experienced.[/quote]

This.

I am a teacher and with the exception of spring 2020, I have been teaching in person all along. I do think more districts should have followed suit but it’s also crazy making to see the media narratives that make it seem like all schools in this country were closed. Because they were not.

Even with staying open, it’s been tough, as we have had to modify our schedule to follow CDC guidelines, resulting in less class time last year and then this year there have been a million absences. It’s super stressful and not normal but it still beats online school by a mile, and the students almost all would agree.[/quote]
