[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Friends and family of mine missed school growing up in a war zone. They agree kids need to get back to school ASAP, because they know firsthand the harm. [/quote]
Kids today are getting some instruction. You may not like the way the instruction is delivered (I don't really either), but they are getting some instruction. Most counties are trying hard to provide meals/food for people who are hurting.

They are not living in a warzone.  Some of you are really off your rocker.  What is going on now in no way is comparable to a warzone.[/quote]

Me: my friends and family who grew up in a war zone think this is harmful 
You: this is not literally a warzone

Wow very responsive[/quote]
I'm the potus posting on here. Do you see how that works?

I grew up poor, in this country.  I could tell you horrible things I went through as a child, but even so, it was a lot better than growing up in a warzone. By no means is DL as bad as living in a warzone.   That's insulting to people who lived through it.

My parents lived through a warzone as tween/teen.  Escaped communists, became refugees, etc..They have told me some real horror stories, and not even all of what they went through. My one parent saw a head on a spike when my parent was ES aged.  By no means is DL in any way shape or form, comparable to what they went through.

Is that a better response?

It seems like you still don’t get it. It’s the war zone survivors in my life who keep making this comparison. So saying they’re insulting themselves isn’t very coherent. [/quote]

DP. My war refugee relatives find the failure of education here appalling. Even in a war zone, children's education was prioritized, not abandoned.[/quote]
