Go back and read the first line of OP’s post. She’s not talking to you.

I don’t live in DC, but I live in “city like DC”, where public schools are 100% DL with no end in sight. I agree with you OP that they’re not going back anytime soon and I feel sick about it. For everyone saying they can’t believe public school parents are putting up with this, what exactly do you suggest we do?[/quote]

Same here. It is a challenging environment to be vocal in, though. If you say that you want in-person school, people accuse you of not taking covid seriously. It doesn't matter how many suggestion you make for making school safer (hybrid, outdoor classes, etc.), you are derided as being a Trumpist, or dumb, or unrealistic.

I am hoping a change in national leadership in November may help, as I do think Dems will have some very immediate interests in getting schools open if they are in charge. But I hate that because Trump/DeVos have been vocal about school reopening (without regard for safety), so many Dems have adopted the reactionary position that schools shouldn't open at all (even with safety precautions). It's crazy we've reached a point where the banal statement "kids should be in school" is somehow very controversial.[/quote]
