[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] disagree. And that interpretation disproportionately impacts essential workers, people who cannot afford hire help to supervise distance learning, people who cannot successfully manage distance learning at home for a variety of reasons. Arguing that people "just need to participate in distance learning" or lose their spot at a charter school comes from a place of privilege.

My kid does not go to private school. I am not choosing to send her to private school/day care instead of participating in distance learning. She goes to a subsidized center set up for kids of essential workers. I shouldn't be punished for accepting that service that is offered to me to enable me to go to work. Please examine how your interpretation affects everyone.[/quote]

This does not make sense to me. How would mandatory school aged children (K and up) be able to opt out of distance learning? Assuming we're talking about more than just pre-k, those subsidized centers will have to provide more than child care once the school year starts. Either they'll be limited only to pre-k and younger children, or they'll support the individual school's DL, or they'll provide a standardized DL curriculum for each grade. Either way, an elementary aged child HAS to participate in distance learning and the family or the city needs to figure out how to support that.[/quote]
