[quote=Anonymous]For those who are defending Dr Duran and APS, I would like them to walk in the footsteps of one young  for one even day. I challenge those people to try to learn for six hours a day on a 5 x 7 iPad. I want to know how long you can stay attentive? I want to know how much you’ve learned? I want know if your eyes burn?  I would know if your back hurts? Are you feeling depressed and do you miss your friends?  Are you a child trying to navigate this all alone because your parents are working full-time? How lonely do you feel?  Do you feel suicidal?

These are the exact things that go through my mind when I see my child on an iPad learning in APS. I’ve watched this suffering for more than a year. For those people who didn’t read the studies that showed schools were not Covid spreaders and chose to ignore the data and spread fear in our community,  you should be ashamed of yourself. The data has been clear since Dec from Harvard, Tulane, CDC, and Wisconsin that  the schools have been safe. Duran was informed about all the research.   The data was clear that the kids were suffering and mental illness was worsening and the kids were falling so behind. He ignored everything!

In my opinion, this was all for nothing. My friends children in Cleveland, Florida, PA, RI and local private schools, and  every Arlington Catholic school has been in school hybrid or full-time since September . No one has died and everyone has thrived and gotten a years worth of education. The teachers are wearing masks and teaching.  I think it’s just unconscionable to see how  safe schools have been and still to advocate to keep schools closed.[/quote]
