[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've been saying this for months.  It's one thing to focus on the positives of this temporary period of DL, from sleeping later, to being with your dogs, to bein comfortable in your room. But that doesn't mean that it is reasonable to expect DL for all to continue forever. Somehow, the "my kids are thriving" camp has shifted the dialog to focus on why we should not reopen because some kids and families feel their experience in DL is superior to in person learning. In person school is the default, not DL. Anything other than in person requires intense scrutiny and assessment of risk. [/quote]

Literally no one is saying that DL should "continue forever." No one.

That does not mean that there cannot be a discussion for the subset who are happy with DL to have the public school education in a non-traditional manner, either through existing structures like VV, or some other way.[/quote]

We are going to have to disagree on this one, or perhaps we are saying the same thing. There is no reason to chime in on a school reopening debate at this point about whether to reopen schools by saying, "You are selfish and aren't thinking about the kids who were bullied in person."  No, school buildings should not remain closed because DL  has allowed some kids to escape their bullies or because their kids learn better with the troublemakers absent or muted. The discussion is not DL is great until you prove that it is better for kids to be in person. In person is the preferred means of delivering public education. The discussion is can the risk be mitigated sufficiently to allow in person learning to resume as safely as possible.[/quote]
