[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly, it’s better than 3 months stuck at home in your room, with zoom your only connection to peers (which was spring experience.) Sure, this fall should start better at home than during stay- at-home orders, but all of the HS friends are going to be focused on their own college experiences, not clinging to remnants of a senior year that flopped. If college finances or health issues are a concern for a family, staying home makes sense. But otherwise, we are going to make the best of a bad situation.[/quote]

I can see that, but at the same time it wouldn't be three months stuck in a bedroom here at home; there's all the conveniences of home and none of the drawbacks of living stuck in a tiny dorm room, trying to take online classes in your room; masking up to walk outside and do laundry; home cooked meals with your family instead of eating a boxed dinner in your room or sitting alone in a dining hall.   And financial concerns exist for many people -- especially with the thought of no refunds on room and board if kids are sent home early.  The other high school friends moving on is a valid concern, except I think no small number of them might be staying home too.  And how do you meet new friends in school in the middle of a pandemic?[/quote]
