[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Also sounds like some parents don’t want their kids around the poors.  Or are 1) disingenuous or 2) bad at judging risk.[/quote]

LOL at you.  The survey and RTS data shows that the low-SES families are choosing DL by a large factor; it is the middle class families that are choosing RTS.  The poor kids will be at home, dear.  The highly anxious and mildly insane middle class parents are the ones who want to throw their kids into the school cesspool.[/quote]

I think a lot of the low SES to return to in-person is because they live in multi-generational households. Multi-Gen households were absolutely decimated in California, NYC, and NJ. The youngsters brought COVID into the home and sickened/killed the grandparents. My dad - in California - was sickened in this manner by his adult step-daughter who lives with him and his wife.

Multi-generational households are most prevalent in expensive urban areas among poorer populations. If you are middle class or higher - and this strongly correlated with being white - your older relatives very likely have their own secure housing and can be safe. Poorer parts of AZ, NM, and TX are seeing Latino households remain in distance learning because of the multi-generational household issue.[/quote]
