[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When this whole thing began, I recall thinking that the blue states will be the last to shut down schools because they realize the role the schools play in helping the most vulnerable among us. And yet they did close and were the last to reopen.

I still can’t believe that.

Don’t forget that plenty of k-6 kids who are unvaccinated have been quarantined (some of this was unnecessary) this year. So still missing school.[/quote]

Huh? More lower SES families selected virtual than the affluent families.

If you have the stats on this via link I would like to see.[/quote]

Here is one of many studies on this subject.  It's crystal clear that more lower income parents preferred sticking with virtual learning.  It's not a subject of serious debate among policymakers.

The stats are different for fairfax county - at least for race that i know of off hand.  I'm not sure I've seen it for income in fairfax county though.[/quote]

But at any rate - let's just say we are using these stats:

with 19% of white parents currently preferring fully remote instruction compared to 43% of Black and 42% of Hispanic families.

I think we should give the in person option to the black and hispanic families that wanted it instead of saying virtual for all.[/quote]
