[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Personally I wouldn’t, schools will be a vector of disease spread. There is no way around it. One less year of socialization to have a lifetime with your kid (see weddings, grandkids, etc) would be worth it [/quote]

I think this is a slippery slope. What guarantee do you have that it's going to be just one year?[/quote]

I'm the PP with the kid with lung disease above.

We actually pulled our healthy kids out during flu season.  My kid was just back from a hospital stay during which he nearly died, and I couldn't handle the thought of flu.

You know what?  Homeschooling turned out to be a great fit for our family.  I could absolutely see us doing it through high school graduation even if covid went away and my kid was magically cured.

Plus, while I would have said in early March that homeschooling was, to my surprise, as good as the school my kids previously attended, it has been, without a doubt, far better than the distance learning our school put together.  And my guess is that next year school will be disrupted and chopped up in some way or another.  So, while I hope this doesn't last for more than a year, for a whole bunch of other reasons, keeping my kids home isn't really one of them. [/quote]
