[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think there’s it’s extremely risky (and morally bankrupt) to ignore the different effects distance learning is going to have on various community members/groups  but I don’t know if this take on it is the most effective.  It feels like it will put people stressed/frantic people who would be amenable/educable on the defensive about their very human efforts to work something out for their kids (which in the end helps no one.) Rich urban liberals can be powerful advocates, to put it diplomatically, and this doesn’t feel it’s poised to harness that potential. [/quote]

People won’t be poised to harness the potential to be advocates for the causes of others, during a pandemic, when they are scrambling around themselves. You write in a flowery way, but the truth is that most people, regardless of money, didn’t have tutors, play dates, childcare, pods, classes, enrichment, etc. on the ready. It’s also true that wealthier people need to get their own ducks in a row.

I agree with many others; this is privileged but not racist or morally bankrupt. [/quote]
