[quote=Anonymous][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.

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.

How? If you help everyone go to  private school now,  they couldn't accommodate them as they have to social distance.

Your daycare issues might have been better solved with federal and state  assistance, so it's not the school system that  is screwing you. Are you essential and  working out of the home? If so, there were resources for  you, but it's likely you just needed  to be flexible and  and adapt in ways you were not willing to.

Secondly,  most don't feel the DL program  is bad. These teachers are working their butts off...it's very hard to do this. They care and  they  are professional and it's a matter of dealing with a new paradigm.

People  would love  to be back, but everyone realizes this is plan B. They work to make  it work. Everyone has jobs.  We all struggle.  We understand that this is real, and that lives are at stake. Most of us are horrified at those continually bashing everyone with zero realization of what's really happening. They are living in a false reality.

You didn't win here- you bailed and  are  helping to put everyone's lives at risk.  Let's  not debate this any further, as I am just tired of this nonsense.  If you need validation (!), you know where to go for that.  Just express your opinion on one of a few local  FB sites, I'm sure you know which ones, and the same  25 people will pile on to pat you on the back. You are likely their hero/heroine,  sweetheart.  Don't waste your time with me. [/quote]
