[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you would leave your child in a school system which is failing to educate them because of a warped sense of a public program or the greater good - you are insane. Your child should come first. If you can afford better, do better. [/quote] Ah, and there it is. This pandemic certainly highlighted the real problem in our society, hasn't it? Who lives, who dies, who gets treatment, who doesn't, who can eat, who can't, who keeps their house, who can be educated, by those teachers at the bottom of that societal spectrum who need those jobs so they can eat, keep their house, etc., because they are not given safe alternatives in which to keep their jobs. So glad you can afford to "do better." So glad your child comes first. Good for YOU. [/quote] Of course my child comes first to me, why would they? They are my child? It doesn't mean I don't care about other children. I won't sacrifice my child's learning for the greater good when clearly, the greater good is a dysfunctional system which can't seem to re-open when other larger districts have done so. Dont' blame the parents who leave when they can. It's not our fault that the system is a wreck. [/quote] And we are lowly essential workers whose kids are on financial aid. We needed daycare or an open school. We found an open school which was cheaper than daycare for our school aged children. We could have stayed and fought for a better public school system but we had been beat up already by the system and really, most parents are fighting for it to remain closed. We don't have that flexibility in life. DL is workign for many famillies who love it. We weren't one of them and needed a solution. I'm not subjecting my family, especially my kids, to crappy DL education with parents who work out of the home and can't help because there is some unwritten law we all have to put up with crappy because someone out there can't find anything else. I will help them move to private myself if I can. Don't keep taking the crappy public education they are dishing out. [/quote]
