We want to go back safely.

The website we were given to sign up fir a vaccine crashed... it still isn’t back up.  Because as soon as we were told there was a way to get back into classrooms safely, we overwhelmed the system.

We want to go back.  We just want it safe for us and the kids.  [/quote]

I agree.  We’re getting a vaccine, and this will be over with, but some of my neighbors, with their stupid signs and vitriol- it’ll be a while before I can get over it.

And then- the stuff they’ve taught their kids.  Their teachers are keeping the building closed, they’re lazy, they’ve abandoned them.  It’s gross.[/quote]

Yes, the relationship between parents and teachers will be changed after this.  Less trust, less goodwill.  [/quote]

This 100%. It's very clear how little parents think of teachers. [/quote]

And what teachers think of parents - they hate their kids, don't know how to parent, just want free childcare...  (I realize this is just the few posters on here, not all teachers).[/quote]

Exactly. My son graduated in June 2020 and he has gone into the military. I loved having him home for those early pandemic months and I would give anything to have him here with me now. [/quote]

So your son was already a fully-educated adult and coasting in March 2020. Think how you would have felt if he was in first grade and lost 1.5 years of school, or had autism or learning disabilities and lost years of hard fought progress...Why is empathy so hard for people?[/quote]

I would have worked with it. I've always loved spending time with my children. I'm a parent first. And he was a sped student btw. [/quote]

We are working with it but it probably wouldn’t have been ideal for you either if you were in a dual working parent household with a non-reading kindergartner doing virtual learning. [/quote]

I'm just saying that I wouldn't whine and complain about having more time with my children. [/quote]

That’s what you think but I don’t think it’s true if you had to work and they were in K and you couldn’t supervise virtual learning. [/quote]
