[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yeah, the idea that public school is some kind of nom-essential luxury that parents wrongly think of as an entitlement is...something. It's one of THE major universal institutions in all modern first world countries. And it IS an entitlement! It's not a luxury, everyone pays taxes because children, NOT their parents, are ENTITLED to an education. It is a right of residence and a key institution of social reproduction.

Now, whether and how much schooling happens in person during a pandemic is more of a logistical question, I'm not saying therefore we have to go back 5 days a week. But the whole framing that school is NOT essential and that it's selfish of PARENTS to want it is one I strongly reject. With lots of caps.[/quote]

Well said. The PP who thinks public school is a non-essential privilege embodies everything that's wrong with America.[/quote]

Oh for God's sake.  THEY ARE GOING TO HAVE THEIR PUBLIC SCHOOL  They are going to be educated to the standards set by the state.

They are just not going to have it in the format you want it.  That's sad for you, but oh well.[/quote]

That is not at all what happened with DL in the spring. My kid was not educated at all. -DP[/quote]
