[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is stupid. [b]Underprivileged kids suffer the most from school closures. [/b]

I personally think all tuition dollars should be converted to vouchers. Let parents choose where to send their kids. What the public school system needs is a little competition. Even Alexandria Ocasio Cortes got her god daughter into a charter school. [/quote]

You are so out of touch pp. I can say that I want schools to re-open, at least in a hybrid mode so each family can choose what they feel comfortable with. That said, I know from my conversations with people from lower income (cleaning lady, service people, grocery store workers and similar) that I have chit chat with, they ALL were deciding to keep their kids at home when there an option/choice was still possible. These people generally do not trust the system to care for their children in case "something" happens. They thing they will get screwed over - and honestly, who can blame them?

Plus, these people usually live in multigenerational homes and have older relatives to worry about (and by extent, someone to "watch" their kids).[/quote]
Your cleaning lady, nanny, service people? Yes, I'm the one whose out of touch here.

PP here - I don't have a nanny but I do have a cleaning lady who comes 2x/month - so what if I can spend $300.00 per month on cleaning services? Some people choose to buy at whole foods or rent a nice vacation home at OBX or whatever. I chose a cleaning lady 2x/month.

And yes, I have had service people come in since this all began - from the top of my head, I had an electrician, the guy from weed/mosquito control and I have had contact with many cashiers at grocery stores - even because I worked a bit as an instacart shopper at the beginning.[/quote]
