[quote=Anonymous]The problem with OP's post is that she's living in La La Land.  The government isn't going to give schools the money they need to open safely -- the administration is threatening to pull money from schools that don't open, and demanding that the CDC weaken their guidelines.  States and localities are suffering the loss of tax dollars, and probably can't afford to pay for all the necessary precautions, even if they were feasible (we're not going to get a bunch of HVAC systems upgraded before September).

Your post reads like rich people should just find their own private education island, as if that will help anyone else.  I mean, no one cares if your kids show up or not, but saying that wealthy people should hire tutors and consultants and home school in their outdoor spaces with the other rich people is just so incredibly tone deaf.  You can pretend you're saying it for the common good, but it's clear that you are saying that rich people should pretend that they are making some kind of sacrifice rather than admit that they are protecting their own kids and f*** anyone else.

The reason that schools can't open safely is because we don't have community transmission under control.  Period.  Nothing you say is helping that.  [/quote]
