[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why?

Because my kids are at a critical stage of development for academic learning, work habits, and social skills.  Once this window closes, you don't get it back.

Because the burden of DL on working mothers and families is tremendous.  Toxic levels of stress that were breaking me physically and mentally.  I won't even start on the impact to my job and career.

Because I watched my previously thriving daughter basically shut down and refuse to learn through a virtual format.  She also reverted back to separation anxiety and lost much of her independence and self confidence.

Because school is an essential service and should be treated as such.  Despite exploding numbers of cases, no one suggests we should close grocery stores, doctors offices, police and EMS services, etc.  We have bars and restaurants open but not schools.  The inability of politicians to prioritize the needs of our children is unbelievable.

Well, you were able to do your career and job well before because someone else was parenting your child and spending time with them.

Schools are closed and bars and restaurants are not. This is because customers have the choice to go to restaurants and bars or not. If schools are open, students and teachers have no choice but to go and get COVID.   Restaurants and bars  are not back full force, Most of them are serving their customers remotely (delivery or takeout).  Schools are also doing the same thing - teaching remotely.  Yes, it sucks.

Politicians need to do a hard lockdown everywhere so that we can be free of this nightmare. But since we have an POS in the WH right now who refuses to transition, that is not going to happen for another year.  Even with the vaccines.
