[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is stupid. Underprivileged kids suffer the most from school closures.

I personally think all tuition dollars should be converted to vouchers. Let parents choose where to send their kids. What the public school system needs is a little competition. Even Alexandria Ocasio Cortes got her god daughter into a charter school. [/quote]

The parents at our Title I school are almost all overwhelmingly supportive of DL.  Because they have inadequate health care and coupled with their own work without adequate safeguards they don't want to expose their kids even more in schools.[/quote]

Well that’s poor decision making right there.  The kids are more at risk in their homes from their own parents they’d be if they were sitting at school socially-distanced in a mask.  And let’s be real, most of these kids aren’t actually going to be able to sit at home in front of a computer for 6 hours a day because they won’t have adequate supervision, support, or technology.  All DL is going to do is reinforce the cycle of poverty.[/quote]

Uh, you don't think they go home to the same places as their parents?  You think that they sleep at school and so are only exposed to fellow students?  Really?

Going to school provides an additional level of exposure, not only because they're in a different environment but because the potential for exposure is exponential with each child coming from a different environment.  Think of it like this - each kid is bringing the germs of another 5-10 people with him or her.  Multiply that by the number of kids in the class plus the teacher and suddenly that is a lot of exposure.  It is much better for them to limit exposure by being at home.[/quote]
