[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's kind of disgusting to hear upper middle class people with SAHMs arguing that schools should close. It seems that their voices are loudest on snow days too. For so many lower class and middle class kids, the safest place is at school. There's food, adults and activities. I know many kids sit at home in an unheated apartment watching TV on snow days with little to no food.

Parents shouldn't have to choose between working and staying home with their kids. And during this corona virus, there WON'T be camps you can pay extra to send your kids to. [/quote]

+1.  Also, not all experts agree that schools should be closed at this point.

Thanks for this link. I noticed this part: “ All students could be checked daily for fever, a possible sign of Covid-19 infection. Even more attention should be given to hand washing.”

I have heard so many stories about sinks not working and soap running out. And in a different thread posters were ridiculed for the suggestion that each child be checked for fever because apparently that’s just impossible? I don’t know. It’s so, so hard to know what the right thing is. [/quote]
