[quote=Anonymous][quote]So you're saying that the grandparent is just collateral damage? Or that it's only one grandparent? Or that the family doesn't have the right to have a safe option for educating their kid? You're saying that all multigenerational families in the county have to undergo a winnowing because, although we have the technology for them to attend school safely, you think it's too complicated to do that for a few weeks until the surge subsides?

If, as you say, COVID needs to burn through our county, don't we all have a collective obligation to protect the vulnerable while that's happening?[/quote]

I'm not the PP, but I think that children who live with their grandparents should have access to virtual learning, [b][i]and they do[/i][/b]. Those families with special circumstances, or who just felt more comfortable in virtual learning, had that option.

That's good! I hope VA remains an option for those kids, and for kids facing bullying in schools (although I think adequate anti-bullying strategies would be even better), and for kids with chronic illnesses. Let's keep offering VA in perpetuity for kids who need it. But let's not move 150K kids to virtual just becuase some kids have special circumstances but did not avail themselves of the alternative educational options. [/quote]
