[quote=Anonymous]If it’s that dangerous, then we need to close bars, restaurants, movie theaters, etc. and prioritize schools. Kids have sacrificed enough, there is a vaccine now. Deaths from COVID aren’t the only harm that matter. I do not think the learning loss and other harm from school closures (increase in teenage crime, mental health issues, young kids left at home alone, etc.) are tolerable any longer. It’s time to prioritize the young. Anyone scared of this virus can continue to stay home. The world is full of scary things, but we shouldn’t shut down our entire in-person education system because of it. Not to mention, am in-person education shouldn’t be a luxury good for the wealthy who can buy their way into private school.

I have young elementary kids who cannot reasonably be expected to do school on an iPad any longer, and my job isn’t going to allow me to work from home to help oversee their schooling forever.

Sorry, but I’m not keeping my kids home into eternity to save people who don’t want to get vaccinated. The vaccines are effective against death and hospitalization. I don’t owe it to anyone to stay home so they don’t have to get a cold.

For those who are for keeping schools closed, why aren’t you out there protesting all the private bars, hotels, flights, etc. that are open? Why are we okay using children as pawns in this pandemic?[/quote]
