[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Folks on this board underestimate how many parents do kit want to send students back yet. My kid goes to a Title 1 charter. 90% of parents didn’t want them to return — huge concern about putting kids on public transit right now. A high percentage of families had relatives members who became ill or died. They are wary. Look at the neighborhood maps DOH puts out each day. The virus impacts vary a lot and have been high in Wards 7 and 8 since the beginning. Those are the places with both the most students AND the most students in charter schools. [/quote] This post got my attention because it destroys the DCUM twin fallacies of reopening. (1) Everyone but the WTU wants schools to reopen and (2) we have to reopen because of all the poor brown kids. As PP observes, the communities most hard hit are actually most acutely aware of the COVID risks and of the limits of medical care available and least likely to want to take the risk. [/quote]
