[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a parent of 2 kids in ES, we aren't accepting even if we were offered. I think a lot of this decision depends on the adults and how they have handled the situation at home, zoom calls, play dates, mask wearing, social distancing,[b] visiting relatives interstate, traveling, skiing [/b]etc. We've supported our kids and kept them informed. They like being at home. They like being together. Do they miss school and their friends? For sure. Are they learning, yes. Is DL perfect? Far from it. We'll wait for the surge and numbers to go down to what they were like in the fall.[/quote]

This is a sensible approach [/quote]

So wealthy people who travel out of state (despite public health guidelines) and have pricey hobbies like skiing are also better equipped to manage DL.  Who knew?  Lots of people are "supporting their kids," but they are having trouble with managing working and DL.  Some have to work in person.  Some can WFH, but aren't super-flexible and trying to aork and manage DL is a strain.  Kids also have different reactions to DL -- for some, it's great and they love it and are learning.  Others have a much harder time learning through a screen.  So many of you are basically congratulating yourselves for being wealthy and having a SAHP or flexible jobs, like you care more about public health than other people do (despite all the travel you do for your mental health).  I mean, I'm happy you're keeping your kid home, since it means it's safer for the teachers and kids who do go back.  But can you stop with the patting yourselves on the back about your decision?

OMG seriously. +1 [/quote]

Hey guess what. We are doing Airbnbs and skiing and all sorts of stuff where we can drive to our destination and continue to isolate. The kids’ standardized test scores are better than they have ever been and they are telling us that this has been their best school year ever.  And we are doing all of this for Jess than we spent for a really crappy aftercare program.  Get creative people. [/quote]
Way to miss the point completely.  [/quote]

If this was my kids best school year ever, I'd be very seriously worried.[/quote]
