[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the issue is that some posters are asking school staff to risk their health (and the health of their families) to educate, or in certain examples babysit, your children so you can work from home in peace. It’s just incredibly inconsiderate 
I understand how stressful this all is for everyone, but we have to think of the well-being of everyone.[/quote]

I think people are not just wanting child care. In-person school is truly better for kids' education. For summer they need activities. Sure, they could wander the neighborhood but no one does that anymore.[/quote]

A little more wandering the neighborhood would be good for all our kids who are over the age of 6-7. The pendulum has swung too far in the direction of planned/scheduled/professional experiences. An old school summer would honestly be one that they'd actually remember. [/quote]
The reason kids today can't occupy themselves for any amount of time is that they've never had to. Parents are paying the price for the massive over-scheduling now. Independence and self soothing are learned skills. [/quote]

+1 million.  Bullseye.
