[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Look, everyone knows that continuing to quarantine is the lowest risk choice.  But that didnt work for our 6 yo last spring.  She was miserable and moody and anxious.  We formed a bubble with another family this summer and our sweet kid is back.  We cannot go back to a full quarantine.

This fall we've opted to lower our childcare risk with a live in nanny and hope to form a pod with 1-2 other families.  We're waiting to see who is in the same class as my daughter, and then hoping to find a family with a younger child to match with younger daughter.  We all know this isn't zero risk.  Yes, it's possible that someone could infect the pod and we could all get sick.  But it's safer than in person school.  And it meets social emotional needs that are necessary for our family's sanity.  It's a calculated risk.[/quote]

I'm one of the posters who is against podding, but this at least sounds more sensible. The emails I've seen going around and on this thread, is about 6 kids + an outside tutor. That's a lot of families coming together. And my thinking is that if you are cool with this kind of mixing, what else are you okay with? So seems a lot of people with loose restrictions coming together.

At least what you describe sounds lower risk. [/quote]
