[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow, you’re lucky your school is looking ahead to 1) what’s coming down the line 2) looking to preserve learning DURING A PANDEMIC 3) looking out for your child/family health!! [/quote]

I love this comment for so many reasons.  It's so typical of the upper-class elitist liberal bubble that many parents live in.

"Looking to preserve learning during a PANDEMIC" - This comment doesn't inform or argue anything. It's meant to bully its way into a valid argument and it has served elitist very well.

The pandemic has been active for over 2 full years now; we are going to school every day during this pandemic without issue.  You don't know the struggles that middle and lower-class families face.

[b]Preserve learning? [/b] How can parents do that when they have to [b]WORK IN PERSON[/b].   They have to work in person serving YOUR food, cleaning YOUR houses, and taking care of YOUR children while their own children are left to fend for themselves, sometimes spending the entire day alone.  It's just selfish upper-class rhetoric that thinks it's helping those less fortune while only serving their own selfish needs. We need to stop accepting arguments like this as having any validity whatsoever.

I hope we can work together to find more solutions but virtual learning AIN'T it. [/quote]

It also doesn't help when you have these parents, as well as their allies on the WTU board, continually advocating for draconian COVID measures.  [/quote]

I think the original “you’re lucky” commenter is actually a teacher who isn’t able to move on from COVID panic mode. It’s the choice of language plus any parents this freaked out have found alternative school arrangements by now (or have gotten over it, more likely).[/quote]
