[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most people aren’t judging those who want to be back in the classroom. I’d love my kids to be back in the classroom. But there is still safety to consider. It’s not safe right now, even if it’s very important for your child to be back.  Just cause they should have been back in in September doesn’t mean they should be back in now. [/quote]

You are entitled to your opinion, but please know that keeping students home is not a harmless alternative.  Even beyond the learning loss for totally typical students, there are children who are now suffering from depression and engaging in self-harm.  There are suicides.  There is increased child abuse happening at home.  There are students with special needs who will age out of services this year or next who aren't getting necessary job training and other skills development, which will put them at increased risk of homelessness, substance abuse, and premature death.  So when you take that position, you are not advocating for a solution that is clearly safer overall, you have simply weighed the risks and made a value judgment about who you feel is expendable.[/quote]
And where do the teachers fit in to your world where everyone makes their own determination about what’s safe? Do you REALLY think that it’s safe to go back hybrid based on the numbers right now? [/quote]
