In short, I really think you guys are kind of the worst:  a mix of sanctimony and hypocrisy that can't seem to make the obvious connections between the effects that what you are asking for would have on other people in our area.  Nobody in my family died, you say, as a reason why increasing Arlington's mortality rate would be okay by you.  You are saying that your kid's education is more important than a less fortunate kid's parents.  Oh, north arlington, my home, what a huge collection of douchebags we all are, I hope we can all agree on that.[/quote]

Hard agree on all of this, including the important douchebag issue. [/quote]

You are my people, and I am yours. Not sure what we do about our neighbors, who I think often have jobs that require analytical skills but who displayed roughly none of them when it came to figuring out how to get people *enough* of what they needed during a pandemic, rather than everything they wanted, including having school be the way it was a couple of years earlier, when they were complaining about different stuff.[/quote]

And to give a different perspective, I think people who can't understand why in-person school FOR CHILDREN should be prioritized OVER BARS BEING OPEN have no sense of the importance of caring for children in our society (which we generally do a crap job of).  My kids are fine, you say, as a justification for why no child should have even the *option* for in-person school.  Remember, no one was *forcing* *all* children back into the classroom.  We were asking for the *option*.

But hey, I'm just someone who has expertise in child development, exposure to trauma/stress in early life and associated long-term consequences, and mental health.  I'm not capable of braying "kids are resilient" and going about my day.[/quote]
