Think again about the wisdom of sending kids back to school[/quote]

This op-Ed is not remotely convincing for me. She’s looking at it through the lens of high school teacher. I have no issue with high schools doing all DL in the fall. That doesn’t pose the same kind of childcare issues and is more likely to be effective educationally than ESers. Teens also get and spread the virus more.[/quote]

Childcare shouldn’t be part of the conversation.[/b] If you want childcare hire a babysitter.
It’s interesting that as a result of the school day ‘child care’ is technically provided. But the primary function IS to teach your child. Educators are not required to get a childcare license or any training on child care as they would in a daycare.

It’s unfortunate that people are losing out on this function but we have to remember it’s a bonus and NOT the primary function.

The author also is looking at the number of black and brown deaths compared to white ones, it mirrors similar results in DC. Does anyone have an explanation for this?

DC spends a lot on ‘per pupil’ funding but where is it all really going? My school doesn’t post LSAT open discussion and when I tried to get the budget from the business manager at my school he brushed me off all 20x. 
Why are our schools continuing to be so overcrowded if we spend so much money?

The in person argument is really moot until we reduce overcrowding and invest in infrastructures and safety.[/quote]

Good.  Now stop saying we need to be DL in DC because teachers who live in MD can't teach because their schools are DL. [/quote]

Luckily I DIDN’T say that  :) [/quote]
