[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I really feel sorry for the kids of all these over anxious parents, who are depriving them of the experience of going to school and learning together with their peers.[/quote]

I am a PP who thinks all of you drama queens are being totally ridiculous about this bill.  My kids are in school.  But I understand that I'm lucky that everyone in my household is low risk for COVID. I am not put in the position of having to choose to keep my kids home for a few months until they themselves can be vaccinated, because the stupid mayor doesn't think a high risk sibling or a high risk parent is a good enough reason to have virtual school.  I don't have to choose between playing chicken with DCPS for a few months (and risk CPS getting called of all ridiculous-ass things) or sending them to school risking my own life or the life of my kid's grandma or the life of one of my children.

In other words, I have empathy. [/quote]

You are talking to the wrong person (I have not posted on this thread before, so I am not one of the “drama queens”, although I do agree with their concerns, which aren’t about the part of the legislation that allows parents to seek a medical exemption due to a high-risk household member), and if your kids are in school, I am not talking about you. I am referring to the posters above who are saying that even for their low-risk kids, school is too dangerous, with one hinting that even after vaccination, it will still not be safe.

Maybe you should actually follow the discussion before accusing anyone of lacking empathy. Clearly many have empathy with kids who are unnecessarily deprived of school, and possibly being neglected as this legislation makes that awfully easy.[/quote]
