[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If posters on this thread who actually have school children want to minimize the virtual time in January, then practice maximum Covid precautions over the break. Avoid travel, wear your masks, skip the holiday gatherings, and don’t let your teens go to gatherings. Encourage your friends to do the same.  I know it’s hard, but that’s what we have to do. Sometimes it’s hard to be the responsible adult, but it’s our job. Good luck. [/quote]

I used to agree with this advice and in fact, I followed it scrupulously last year. No longer. The solution you are proposing is for adults and children to isolate themselves as much as possible in an effort to limit COVID spread and keep schools open for in-person learning. Unfortunate, if experience has taught us anything, there are no guarantees. Those families who don't gather, don't have any indoor interactions with others, and isolate will have deprived themselves of human contact only to likely find that isolation continuing if schools don't reopen. To avoid isolation, isolate, and then find yourself isolating more. We have seen that these individual sacrifices aren't enough to make a different. [/quote]
