[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I love how now everyone is concerned about equity.  Face it - you are still only concerned about your own kid but using the equity argument to try to get schools to reopen. Cute.[/quote]

Some systems want to send esol, special ed and poor kids back first as it's thought dl is especially hard on them.

Meanwhile many of my Facebook friends are like "hell no we won't be the experimental guinea pigs.  Send the rich white kids first if it's supposed to be safe!"  And if schools tried that it would also be racist.

What superintendent wants that kind of headache?  Just send everyone back at once.[/quote]

The disease isn't harder on minorities, the health care system is. And the poorest amoung us are the ones who need schools the most, that is why people want to send them back as they are suffering the most without it. [/quote]

The Tuskegee experiment was referenced repeatedly.

You are  NOT going to convince most black people, who are often the working class and poor being discussed (at least the ones rooted here) to be the first to go back to school during a pandemic.  Maybe esol students and maybe African and Caribbean students, who don't have the same history, can be persuaded of good intentions.[/quote]

Hyperbolic much? [/quote]

It’s called experience.[/quote]
