[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Once adults are vaccinated, if you want your kids learning at home then pull them and homeschool. This has always been an option. [/quote]

No, thank you.  We don't have to do that and we won't.  We will utilize the distance learning which the district will provide as long as we have unvaccinated students in a pandemic.

Guess your precious in-person kids will just have to share resources.  Sorry.[/quote]

But your's will be short-changed. Guarantee it. There is simply no way that kids at home can have the same or as good of an experience. Sorry.[/quote]

Are you kidding me with that?  DP.

Our kids are having a MUCH better experience at home than they have had at school.  No more class time lost to knuckleheads who are acting out and needing attention.  No more having to sit through the teacher reviewing material yet again because some yoyo was in the bathroom for the 40th time that day and came back needing to find out how to log in to the app they were using.  No more having work interrupted because some kid thought it would be funny to fart and then start passing gas continuously.  All of those knuckleheads have been completely minimized with DL.  Good riddance.

The kids who are left are getting a first class education and staying on track.  More power to them.[/quote]

So you are holding everyone else hostage so your snowflake can stay at home? Your snowflake needs to learn to deal with the real world which has many disruptions. Your selfish attitude is hurting so many families. Enroll in a virtual school if this is how you feel and the rest of us will get ourselves vaccinated, follow science and do what is best for most kids. Bye.

Your anxiety and agitation are so much that you are willing to do something blatantly stupid - send your child to school in the midst of a pandemic - rather than flex and be flexible.

The people advocating for DL aren't advocating for DL forever, just for now.  When the pandemic subsides, when more people (including kids) are vaccinated, when the need for stringent policies become less necessary, then it will be appropriate to reopen things like schools.

Until then you would be much better off getting the mental health services that YOU NEED so that you can deal with what is happening in our real world.  When you become more flexible and adaptable I am sure things will start going better for you.  Learn to flex and adapt to the world around you.  Learn to adjust to what is happening.  When it is safer, more people are vaccinated and the health officials have a better handle on the pandemic, then we're happy to support a RTS.

But you need to get a handle on your mental health first.  You aren't helping your kids when you are so agitated.[/quote]

+1, I don't feel safe sending my child back any time soon because many people have given up and live their lives as normal and can bring COVID into the schools and share it to my children and with us.  Just because adults are vaccinated, children are not and children make up the bulk of the people in schools.  You may be ok with risking it for your child but many of us are not.  By reopening your are putting our children at risk.  By demanding all kids go back unvaccinated with no lifestyle restrictions, you place our children and our families at risk (expect those eligible or line jumpers).[/quote]

Feel free to enroll your kids in a virtual school - that is your choice. I do agree this country’s priorities are backwards. We should have done everything to keep school open - not worried about gyms, hair salons and restaurants. Now we all suffer. As for school, once most  adults are vaccinated (by fall) they should open because the risks associated with keeping them closed don’t out weigh another year of virtual school (I’m not calling  it distance learning because that implies something is being taught which for my lower ES kid is not the case - with 1 hour of live learning per day school is a joke). Read about the virus and transmission among children and the science will lead you to see it is safe to open schools. There will never be zero risk so if you can’t handle that your options are online school or home school. [/quote]
