[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]DL is not bad for all kids. Its bad for some, especially those who don't have an active parent involved but for other kids its been great for a variety of reasons.[/quote]

For the minority of kids who benefit from DL because it resolves or at least addresses another issue (bullying, social anxiety, ADHD, etc.) -- great! I will advocate for a DL option for such kids moving forward (though I should note that there basically already was a DL option for these kids -- it's called homeschooling and there are tons of resources available these days for just this situation).

Most kids don't fall into that category. Almost no kids below 3rd grade, honestly. There are no 1st graders who are just thriving via DL, unless by "thriving via DL" you mean "thriving via the tutors and pod their well-resourced parents have been able to provide." That is not an option or most parents.

So while I'm glad that some kids are now getting relief from difficult school situations, that doesn't mean that we should stop caring about the many, many kids who are now in a terrible school situation. Or blame their parents for the problem, when the problem is quite obviously DL.[/quote]

No problem is pandemic. Problem is mismanagement by Trump. We are continuing to pay for the mistakes of the Orange buffoon and the criminal GOP.  Now we have to deal with the big problem of pandemic and we will continue to suffer long term impact of mismanagement by a stupid low-intelligence ignorant Trump.  Yes, sucks for everyone.  [/quote]

The pandemic is arguably worse in the UK but their schools are open.

This is a self-inflicted wound.  And it's uneven, since children all over the country are going to school.  [/quote]

Yes. The UK has a death rate of about 2.7%. Ours is about 1.7%.[/quote]
