[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Expecting the news any day now that APS Level 2 hybrid will be postponed, and I am feeling it hard, despite the fact this is not surprising. I am watching people in my neighborhood - mostly younger adults without kids - continuing to visit bars and restaurants and having house parties, activities we know are driving the current spread. I don't think that many in these groups would even start to think about the impact their actions could be having on young kids.

I was wondering if there is a chance for a public grassroots campaign that shows the faces of school-aged children and demonstrates the impact of COVID spread on their emotional, social, and academic health? I think some of the people that I know pursuing social activities would actually think twice if the downstream impact registered.

I might be naive but if our governments are not going to prioritize school over socializing, then maybe there is a way to nudge our neighbors.[/quote]

I agree with you! I can't believe how our society isn't prioritizing kids. :( So sad to see Halloween bar crawls, packed bars, and non mask wearers. I could see this coming. I will be crushed if school is still closed Fall 2021. It gets to be a significant part of my 6 year old's life. :( [/quote]

So let’s assume they postpone. Then what happens in the fall of 2021? We’ll be in the same boat headed towards winter with rising cases and flu season once again. What is the alternative to 100% distance instruction?[/quote]
