[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not "agitating" because 1) I think it's reasonable to close schools in a pandemic and 2) I'm waiting to see if they do a better job this fall.  [/quote]

#1. I'l admit my kid is not in school yet, but I'm still mad at where we have ended up, on behalf of all parents in this country.

Still, I do not see another solution, short of having a reasonable national response to the virus, getting that under control, and making it safe / reasonable to have open schools. I don't see that happening. There is no political will, and many in the country don't think this is an important thing to do.  I'm not sure having specific counties "doing well" is enough, because things change pretty quickly.

So, I'm not "agitating" because I don't know what I can do that would possibly be useful.  I will vote in November.I'm seeking out ways I can help financially, such as PTA donations. Speaking out to my local school system is unlikely to be useful, because they do not have the resources to solve the problem that needs to be solved.  Speaking out to my federal gov't reps feels totally useful.

So...OP, I hear you.  I think people expect parents to 1) make the best choices they can for their family, while acknowledging the inequity and taking action against it if possible 2)  Don't expect not to b judged.  This is not pandemic specific, it is just parenting. [/quote]
