[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How could anyone have predicted that closing schools for 12-18 months would have negative consequences? Oh wait...[/quote]

Seriously. I don't understand why the schools and teachers thought the kids were going to be ok. News Flash: They're not ok. [/quote]

Why is it the responsibility of the school to “help and/or fix” them, that is the parents primary responsibility.[/quote]

Hmmm, because they broke them by remaining closed well after most workplaces opened back up? Kids were left alone and still expected to complete academic work. Because the pandemic showed the true dysfunction of the public school system and the safety backstops which had been reliant on open school buildings were suddenly gone from so many who depended on them?

Because parents love and want the best for their kids but if your life is built around the legally obligated reality that your child has to be in a school building for 6+ hours a day, then, well it takes a lot to transition to another plan when suddenly that building closes. Fair enough. When it’s clear that you are caught in the middle of a battle between the BOEs and teachers unions, you lose the ability to cope through that transition. Only to be forced to transition again even though most businesses, bars, restaurants and federal IC buildings are open for business as usual?

Schools play a vital role in our community. More than education. Or they did until they made it clear they only want to provide education whether or not anyone learns and aren’t responsible for any of the other roles they’ve played in the past.

This must be the parent of the kid who asked me to go the safe space this week because someone said something really mean to her (dixit).

I am entertained when rich parents refuse to pay for child care or find a way to support their kids during the day.  These same parents are still working at home.[/quote]

Because every parent is rich and there were lots of options for good childcare last year?  [/quote]
