[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t understand why there’s no sense of urgency to get kids back. To me, keeping schools closed for almost a year is a crisis. I don’t think we even know yet the scope.[/quote]

If you were to watch the Council meeting yesterday where people testified about reopening to City Councillors, you'd understand the issue. 90% of speakers were STRONGLY against reopening. NO mention made of the damage to children by those presenting, to mental health or to learning or for anything at all.

These are the loudest voices, most organized, by far.

Maybe because it’s a life-threatening public health crisis that affects all of us, not just your children who need to socialize. So weird that school is the only place your children can socialize. Maybe it’s because everything else was shut down to avoid spreading coronavirus?[/quote]

Do please continue to minimize our concerns with our kids’ development and mental health as the trite “need to socialize.” It really endears me to your cause. [/quote]

Well, they are getting educated via DL.  The only piece that is missing is the socialization.  So how else should your concerns be described?[/quote]

DP. Are you seriously still trying to argue that DL is as effective as in person school, or even sufficiently effective? Even after all the data that is coming out to prove you wrong?[/quote]
