[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it's a bad habit to fall into to sacrifice the kids' education to "protect" older family members.  If the family member were that vulnerable, we'd visit with masks or outside or arrange a visit when kids would already be home for a few days.  Even shifting later to winter break if necessary.[/quote]

+100000.  Children have already given up so much for [b]a virus that hardly affects them[/b].  Meanwhile most elderly people moved on years ago.  We aren’t Covid cautious and back in 2011 when we went out to eat it was mostly retirees dining out.  [/quote]

DP - and one who agrees entirely with the need to prioritize kids’ education over “protecting” the elderly: RSV is not particularly harmful to school-aged kids.  Nor is COVID (still).  The flu can be, but the vaccine prevents most severe cases.

So, what are you talking about?  Sacrificing kids’ educations has profound and long-lasting consequences.  It also teaches them that education doesn’t matter.  That’s not the message we want to send.[/quote]

Kids education hasn't been sacrificed due to covid.  Its been sacrificed due to parents demanding no homework, no stress, etc.[/quote]
