[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sadly, that is a rather selfish perspective. Give it a little time. Your child can learn how to learn remotely. This is not something new or something that will disappear tomorrow. Everyone has had to learn new ways of learning, teaching, practicing medicine, working without colleagues next to you, shopping, etc. This could be the start of something new and exciting in education.

Not selfish.  Realistic.  People learn different ways.  Kindergarteners and high schoolers learn differently.  Some people need structure and clear instructions, some need space to think.  Etc etc.

One of DCs is fine in-person and fine with distance.

One of my DCs is a star at in-person school and thrives at it, but DL gives him/her nothing but aggravation.  For this child, it’s tragic.[/quote]

Agree with PP.  Also, this assumes that there is an adult that can help the child learn remotely (needed for younger kids).  But most homes have parents who both work.  Distance learning is a near impossible task for working parents.

That said, I really don't know what the answer is.  I go back and forth about whether schools should open.  I think they will and I hope that people continue to work at home/social distance so that the spread doesn't surge again.  I also really hope that teachers don't end up getting sick.  If I were a teacher or worked in schools, I'd go ahead and invest in a face shield or two.  I don't think DC will supply those but I would wear one in school if it were my job, along with a mask.[/quote]
