[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are always very long waitlists for in patient psyche treatment. Always.  Attributing that to APS distance learning is a misleading leap. But that is consistent with the way open schools now advocates employ data. [/quote]

It is insincere and scammy. [/quote]

Peds ER here. We usually can find a temp bed for kids in normal times until one opens up nearby. We are now sending kids about 600 miles away before we find a spot. The bigger issue though is setting kids up with a provider after presenting in crisis. That is almost impossible to find in a timely manner even where the family has the means to pay.

I teach in a school in the area that is and has been fully open in person. Some of the strongest advocates for opening were nurses and pediatrician parents, who have seen the many harmful effects on the children.

That is heartbreaking.[/quote][/quote]

???  I don't know a single doctor or nurse, pediatrics or otherwise, advocating for schools to open.  All the doctors and nurses I know are refusing to send their kids to school in person.[/quote]

Then you must not know very many. [b]What are they all supposed to do with their kids by the way while they work? [/b]I know of multiple nurses/doctors who are sending their kids where schools are open, or, want to send their kids when APS opens. [/quote]

So...the doctors and nurses you know support opening schools just because they need childcare? 
[/quote]
DP. More like because they don’t have any options for ensuring their kids are engaged in schooling and completing work while they parents are at work.  Teachers have placed those responsibilities wholly onto parents under the blithe assumption that all parents are at home and can do this part of teachers’ jobs for them.[/quote]

I'm sure almost all doctors and nurses have the resources to find a babysitter or tutor to make sure kids are engaged in virtual school. Or send to in-person private school.

That's why it's odd that PP is claiming that the doctors and nurses need to send their kids to school for childcare.
