[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m not the PP, but I’m a school counselor and can share some reasons. I’m not asking anyone to “approve” of these reasons, just sharing reality for some families.

Child home alone because parent working (and no child care) and child needs more assistance than others to get on (that too could be for many reasons)

[b]Multiple family members in tiny space sharing only a few devices or overtaxing their WiFi [/b]

Child has to take care of even younger sibling while parent is working

Teen is working because parent lost job because of Covid and will drop out if they can’t get the classes at off times, because they have to help support their family because...Covid has wreaked havoc on the family’s finances

Every student gets a chromebooks and a mifi and comcast offers free wifi

How would a mom that had to work take care of her younger child if the older student was IN school?  And if the child is K and above, they will be in classes on their own equipment too.  My 1st grader had no issues logging on, on her own last Spring.

Any teen that needs a job can work the same hours they do IF they went to school.  After 3pm.

We need to stop acting like virtual learning is an option.  It isn't.  If the kids were in school, there would be no difference in work time, childcare, etc...
