LOL![/quote]

I don’t see the humor if my kids are forced back to school with no DL options.  Or if my mom is forced back to teaching or lose her job and pension. [/quote]

Sorry that my LOL was a bit misinterpreted. I'm absolutely terrified of having my kids forced back to school. Hopefully the full-DL option will persist through the school year no matter what.

This is where I see the problem we have here at the moment.  You feel that keeping your child(ren) home and having a DL option all year is in your best interest.  And I respect and support that decision.  You have your own set of unique circumstances and need to make your own, educated, risk-based decisions.  And DL is available to you.  Even pre-COVID, there are DL/homeschooling options for you/your family should you choose to stay that way if/when schools eventually open.  Others, on the other hand, are in different circumstances, and would like to send their children to school for optimal learning, given their own unique set of circumstances.  This decision was taken away from them.  Neither decision is "right" or "wrong", and instead of respecting each other's different opinions/circumstances/decisions, the immediate reaction (from both sides of the coin) is that "I'm right, you're wrong", and we get confrontational.  We've totally lost perspective on the old phrase:  "We agree to disagree".

Yeah, no, "agree to disagree," "MYOB" and "you do you" aren't things during an ongoing pandemic.  Your "choice" to send your kids in person puts me, my family and my community at higher risk with additional spread.  There are indeed right and wrong here.

Tell you what -- go ahead and send your kids back, but only if you risk the lives of YOUR family and no one else's.  So telework, grocery delivery, no shopping, no restaurants.  Isolate and have at it.  But no, you won't do that, but yet, you want others to approve of your irresponsible, dangerous choices.  No.[/quote]
