[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]
And you should know based on your experience that someone claiming that no children in this country suffer any adversity because they haven’t experienced war or famine is clueless and wrong. [/quote]

That PP was shockingly awful. My God.[/quote]
It is not shockingly awful to say that the “traumas of remote learning doesn’t compare to war or famine. That’s absurd. [/quote]

DP. This is the exact quote, and yes, it is an awful thing to say:

No, it won’t. Kids survive famine and war and parents in the US can’t imagine their child having to survive the smallest adversity. It’s embarrassing.
