[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hey guys remember that pandemic that was totally easy and no one had to make any sacrifices and it was over before you knew it? Me either because it doesn't exist. I cannot understand why people think that everything should carry on as normal and their children or their families won't have any hardship from this. Pandemics are awful for everyone! You're supposed to hate it and so are your kids. [/quote]

"Everything should be normal with no hardships!" is something nobody is saying.

"Sorry, kid, it's a pandemic, don't expect to get an education in the next year or two" is something some people are apparently quite comfortable saying, but I'm not. [/quote]

Good news!  Nobody is saying "don't expect to get an education."  [b]You will still get one, little Johnny.[/b]  Just, since we're in a pandemic, it will not be in a pile of bricks crammed in with way too many other people, putting everyone at risk.  Your parents (well, your Mom) will probably bitch, but you will still get that education.[/quote]

Some kids will. Some kids kinda will. Many kids won't.[/quote]

Same with regular school.[/quote]

Well, if you think that more kids will get an education with Remote School than with School School, then should we expect to continue with Remote School after the pandemic is finally under control? Just think about how much money we'll save on public education if we can just prop kids up in front of a screen at home. Get rid of maintenance staff and bus drivers, sell off the school buildings, get rid of most of the teachers... Betsy DeVos's dream come true.[/quote]
