[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So with all the parties on the 31st and 1st, will the back to school testing on Sunday-Tuesday be too early to detect the spread of Covid? I want to keep the kid home for the first week anyway and would prefer virtual classes for the first week. [/quote]
Schools should at least offer those cautious families a virtual option for the first two weeks[/quote]

No, they should not. "Cautious families" need to get over themselves and realize that the entire framework of producing an elite education does not revolve around having their children beamed in online.[/quote]

What are you so cautious about anyways?  Aren’t your kids vaccinated.  Ugh.[/quote]

Good for you you’re so confident nothing bad will happen to your kid.

There are those of us with younger kids who can’t be vaccinated yet, or immune compromised adults, living under the same roof. 
A  little empathy for those with different circumstances would go a long way.

But then again, we are  on DCUM… How could one expect nonjudgmental or civil debate that doesn’t involve mean labels for others they don’t agree with?

Sorry, but where is the mean label and the judgment?

I agree with PP. The schools need to be open and the kids need to be there, in person. If you have extenuating circumstances that affect your family, that's up to you to deal with. But you should not expect the school to accommodate those extreme needs. There is cost involved, you know. Not everything is "free."[/quote]
