[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We need to recognize that for most of us schools being closed isnt a big deal.

But low income communities rely on schools and desporately need them to open. They need them open because they want their kids to get a better education then they did, and having in person, real classes is key not just for mastery of current material but also for their student's further educational advancement (scholarships, etc). They dont have the money for the extra tutors.

They also depend on schools for childcare, as many dont have the luxory to wfh.[/quote]

Subpar education and efficacy IS a big deal, to ALL students and society. [/quote]

The problem is the amount of government creep over the decades. Rational adults understand the benefit of educating all children- or at the very least understand that we as a society have an obligation to fund their basic education. But schools have become depositories of every program government can imagine. Providing meals even when school is not in session, social workers and schools forced to deal with students who do not want/aren't capable of not disrupting the environment for others, run away sports programs.

School systems need to be paired WAY back. They need to return to only providing a basic, solid education. [/quote]
