[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I want to know how many people wanting to reopen are entitled white people.

The dad with twins is paying for childcare but couldn't find spanish childcare in DC?  Really?

And he found childcare outside his home - he drives to another state to drop off his kids and pick them up?  Or are they going to grandma and grandma doesn't speak spanish?

That doesn't make sense.

All I see here are a bunch of people who couldn't hack it at being teachers whining that these people took a vow of poverty to teacher their kids.  The idea that teachers don't care about their kids have never seen a teacher cry on a Sunday while she's preparing lesson plans.

And those are garbage people.

parent your kids; relax about the standards; and know the disrespect you are tossing around the people who you want to watch and die for your kids is being heard by your kids.

Teachers in this country take a bullet for kids and now they are to die alone in a hospital so your kid won't fall behind.  give me a break - if you can find DCUM, find the time to post on DCUM and talk to the post about your daycare in MD - your kid is not suffering from educational loss.[/quote]

Standing ovation. This just about brought me to tears![/quote]

How dramatic. I guess it's fun to make an emotionally-laden post filled with hyperbole and manipulation instead of facts, but you do you.

No one took a vow of poverty. And I've been a teacher. Lesson planning isn't that stressful, and furthermore, tons of us have cried about our jobs. It's not special. That's facts.

Teachers are not in any special danger as empirical research has suggested so far. It's weird that you're basically like "they choose to be MARTYRS for our children!" But at the same time you are saying they shouldn't take the completely reasonable risks many of the rest of us are taking.

You're saying learning loss isn't occurring. And hey, so the research so far suggests that learning loss is real, and that online learning is to the detriment of special populations, including young learners. Here's facts: https://naeducation.org/covid-19-educational-inequities-roundtable-series-summary-report/

Or I guess, you could just claim without any evidence, that learning loss isn't happening.

Learning loss is happening but why is that an issue.  There is a pandemic happening.

If you were able to find the study - you are able to read to your kid.  You are able to talk to your kid in math.

If one of these teachers gets sick - there is no sub.  What will the learning loss be then?[/quote]

Because children have a right to an appropriate education. That has literally been settled in constitutional law. The fact that there is a pandemic does not abridge these rights, which I recall has also been recently litigated. Many children who are in special populations--kids with special needs, young children, children in poverty, etc., are not receiving an appropriate education. It is a generally accepted fact in education circles that distance learning is detrimental for these groups.

And it's weird that you're like "well YOU can read to your child, so that means everything is fine!" Maybe there are skills I cannot effectively impart to my child. Maybe I care about my kid's classmates, maybe I care about the multiple functions of schooling aside from disciplinary concerns, all of which cannot be adequately performed through DL.

Here, try reading chapter 5 here: https://www.nap.edu/read/25858/chapter/5[/quote]
