[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hate this post.  My child has fairly severe disabilities.  I cannot educate him or meet his needs at home.  I feel that posts like this pretend that he and my family do not exist.  [/quote]

I don't hate this post.  It does not matter if your child has disabilities or is in a magnet program or is an athlete or a regular kid who wants to hang out with his friends.  It does not matter if they are ESOL, FARMS, on grade, below or above grade level...one thing unifying them all is that no one is dispensable and everyone's health is of paramount importance.  Going back to school is a very myopic want because within 3 weeks of school opening many students and many parents will fall sick and some will die.

The choice is

Being at home, not getting nicely educated, doing some weird DL, watching too much TV, wasting a year.

Going to school, having a weird social and academic experience which will be a waste of time, falling sick, making others in the family fall sick, spreading the disease, losing health, wealth, earning capacity, maybe dying or developing severe disabilities. Wasting a life.

I will choose being at home and watching netflix for a year or two. Wasting a year is better than wasting a life. [/quote]

Then pick DL and let others pick what they want.  The parents of special needs kids with no high risk or high risk family members don't need your sanctimonious lecture.  You and the author of the post need to decide for yourselves and let others do what they think is best for their families.
