[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was shocked to see such cold and uncaring comments from a school counselor.  If my child were at his school, that discussion would have destroyed any faith I might have had in their counseling services.

On the other hand, the other school counselor who joined in with is a wonderful person and counselor (based on professional interactions outside of AEM), and I was glad she joined in to offer constructive comments.[/quote]

I agree.  I was disgusted by the Wakefield counselor’s comments.

Also, the complete blowing off of the parents especially by the women who are posting constantly that it’s unsafe to go to school.  As a parent who’s dealt with  a child having suicide ideation, I couldn’t believe their callousness.[/quote]

I honestly can't deal with the parents who are scrutinizing mask policies as if the perfect policy will actually prevent middle schoolers from wearing it under their noses. [/quote]

from what I can tell, these parents will grasp at anything and everything to keep schools closed. Which I just don't understand, because they have the option to keep their child remote. Why are they so vocal about the "dangers" or opening schools if they already have this option?[/quote]

There are some of us who can’t send our kids due to severe health concerns. Our children are already struggling and feeling isolated when hearing of other families getting together frequently, play dates,  having pods, excited to go back for hybrid, etc. We are concerned about our children’s mental health as well when they have to continue to stay home, knowing their peers will be in class. They will see the teachers and assistants paying attention to the kids in class while they were being left behind on the screen. I say this to point out a different perspective. Everyone is in a really crappy position. I don’t think that mental health concerns are only for the kids who want to go back to hybrid. Some of us don’t have a choice. How are we addressing the mental health of those kids?[/quote]
DP.  Would you be okay with it if your child could be in a class with all virtual students rather than concurrent?  [/quote]

Yes, that would be preferred. It’s the model they’ve been doing already anyhow. And for the record, I have no issue with other families going back. It’s a very personal choice. [/quote]
