[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm in favor of taking care of the most vulnerable. Bring back the low income and IEP kids and others identified by staff, spread them out over all the schools and the rest of us somehow manage because we are decent human beings and we take care of the weakest amongst us be they physically at risk of dying of needing extra resources to learn.  Accept that maybe our kids won't get every single advantage to which we think they are entitled but they will still be ok and maybe the gift they will get is understanding that we rise or fall together.

I can't believe someone is describing [i]school[/i][u] as "every single advantage to which we think they are entitled."

Kids aren't entitled to school?!

And no, they won't be ok. [/quote]

[b]They're not getting no school.[/b] They just aren't getting the kind of schooling that we would prefer they have. Would you have someone's mother die so Larlo doesn't have to take math twice? I wouldn't but that's just me. There are few character defining moments for a nation. This is one of them. Who will we be? So far, not so good. [/quote]

Yes, they are. They are getting no school.

As you say, there are some character-defining moments for a nation. This is one of them. Will we be people who open nail salons and force people to keep working at meat-packing plants, but keep schools closed? So far, not so good.[/quote]

AMEN! And Giants and Costco’s and all the things that the upper middle class and wealthy care about for their convenience. They’ll get the very best distance learning from Sidwell or their live-in nanny. Do you think they care if your average middle class or working class family’s child gets a decent education? No. Of course not. [b]And if the fact that no school = no work for parents, they coulda also care less. [/quote][/b]

Schools are not daycare centers. Daycare is your responsibility.[/quote]
