[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To all the teachers out there, please know that many parents support you and think you are doing the best you can under unprecedented circumstances.  Just because all of us don't spend time anonymously posting about it doesn't mean we feel any less supportive.  [/quote]

I can both think the teachers are doing the best they can, and also believe that schools should reopen.  [/quote]

I get that, and I think you have a valid viewpoint.  I just don't think enough parents feel the same way, or at least not strongly enough to push for a change.  Many charter schools, which aren't even unionized, have already announced they are sticking with virtual learning into next year.  Our elementary released a survey where a minority of parents said they would send their kids back to school in person if it was offered.  I think a lot of parents feel the same way.  It's sort of the silent majority.  Other than anonymous posters on this board, there just isn't the outcry.   [/quote]

DP:  I totally agree with PP — teachers are working very hard, but that doesn’t mean it works for the students.  The kids should be back in school.

From my limited knowledge, *a lot* of parents think this.[/quote]

Exactly. And surveys can be posed in a way that is extremely biased.  If you asked "would you be in favor of a choice to send kids back to the classroom if the evidence shows that transmission is unlikely and we take the following steps to reduce risk ... " then I bet you'd get a broad majority saying yes.  [/quote]
