[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Reduce tuition? Our school made lots of modifications, upgrades and structural improvements due to covid. Even the high tech cameras in every room come at a price. No, tuition was not reduced. But anyone was free to enroll in public school and then have zero instruction.   [/quote]

You mean public education is free. You paid for cameras.[/quote]
And for the first 18 months you got what you paid for at public school. Nothing. I’ll take seamless transition to zoom and in school everyday or hybrid option over many many months of public school zilch. This should not be a hard point for pro-public schoolers to concede. [/quote]

Valid, but once pandemic is over that will be a moot point. [/quote]
That cannot be your conclusion. Or maybe you don’t understand what moot means.

It’s been almost 2 years and I think my neighbors’ kids have been in school full time for less than 2 quarters. And January 2022 has t started off great. Some kids will take a long time to recover. Others will be fine. [/quote]
Moot? No. More like the opposite of moot. Immeasurable. That’s the difference in Covid times. [/quote]
My kids go to a mix of public and parish catholic, so we hardly fit the "private school" stereotype or definition. But, the pro-public schoolers ignoring the almost 2 years and counting of covid times as a one off, seem almost delusional to me. Wouldn't the true test of a school's ability to deal with change and contingency such as a global pandemic, pushing the absolute pressure points of a school and school system, tell you everything you need to know? I get that some just can't afford it. That's fair. But to call pandemic schooling "moot" is just willful ignorance I'd say. [/quote]

You assume that private is the fix to a pandemic that is in its 11th hour. Private isn’t inherently better. I do agree public was not good at all for the pandemic. 
You state that a poster said the pandemic schooling is moot which is incorrect. The poster said when the pandemic ends, it will be moot. 
You twisted it to fit your argument. [/quote]
