[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I work with children who are homeless, are victims of abuse, are in foster care, or are trapped in the middle of family immigration battles. None of those parents selected “in person” learning for their children because they know that things can always get worse. Potentially exposing your family to a viral plague is going to have much more dire consequences for a family without health insurance, a large comfortable home where multiple people can quarantine at once, and who cannot survive without the consistent income of both adults and teenagers. It is insane (and frankly classist and racist) to pretend you are advocating for these people even though we have data indicating they are not on your side.

If you never engage with any of these communities and now you are using them as an argument for opening schools during the pandemic, you are a bad person. [/quote]

+1  I am a teacher in a school with a demographic that reflects *our work.  Only a very small percentage (less than 15%) of those parents or guardians have selected concurrent or hybrid.  Sending the children to school inperson would be a threat to the living conditions and would also mean that the working adults would not be able to work if someone was exposed and forced to quarantine.  From their perspectives it is much better to limit potential exposure and keep the kids at home.  I understand the reasoning.[/quote]
