[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You people are crazy. Of course you should take a spot, especially for PK-3 grades. Young children have a low likelihood of transmitting the virus (i.e., you are safe), and in DC, 0% of persons 19 and under infected with covid have died (i.e., your kids are safe). Science! With your logic, you would have been crazy to send your kid to school pre-covid, when schools were being less cautious and your kid could have caught the flu, which they can transmit to you and get really ill from. Worried about infecting an older person? They are all being vaccinated right now. Get your vaccine. Send your kid to school. Be a reasonably good citizen.

Low doesn't mean no-risk. I know a couple that contracted COVID from their daughter, who caught it from her daycare teacher. Both parents got sick and dad missed 3 weeks of work. This changed my perspective entirely.

Is missing work feasible for a family that lives paycheck to paycheck? Or who lives with a grandparent with a high-risk condition?

Stop shaming people for making the decisions that are best for themselves and their families.
