[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP here, and to the immediate PP, I sincerely hope you’ve advocated and continue to advocate for the lives of grocery store clerks, nursing home residents and staff, prisoners, retail and warehouse workers....the list goes on and on.  I work in a clinic and no one seems to care anymore about the risks my colleagues and I have taken, nor about what’s happening to our kids.

For the people saying “well if you have to send your kid then just send them” after saying “PEOPLE ARE GOING TO DIE!!!”—think about what you’re saying here!  Because the PP’s kid has a disability, or because a kid has parents working in restaurants or hospitals, our kids get to be the guinea pigs for this plan?  How incredibly cruel.

And yes, there is actual science to refute the OP’s cited numbers.  Yes, he is incredibly privileged to have a choice, not that he acknowledges this at any time in his post.  And yes, my kids and the kids of all the ICU and ER nurses and doctors I know are going back into the classroom this fall, because we don’t have an alternative and no one has cared to offer us one.

You have the same options the rest of us working parents have. Arguably you should have better choices.  I think all essential personnel should be receiving childcare funding or full time school until we are in the final stage of this thing. Oh well, you get hybrid I guess.  Would you like something like full time virtual, that you could work into your childcare schedule? That’s an idea I’ve seen but that hasn’t really been discussed much here.[/quote]

I’m that poster, and, what childcare schedule are you talking about?!  And how do I have the same choices when I cannot work remotely as people seem to assume that all professionals can?   School with extended day has been our “childcare” for years.  We have school-aged children.  My oldest is 12 and not eligible for any daycare options that might exist (but don’t worry, there are none!).  But also too young to be left alone for 40-50 hours/week to learn virtually.  So, no, I don’t want full time virtual school.  I’m comfortable sending my kids to school based on the science I’ve read.  [/quote]
