Anonymous wrote:In the middle of a growing pandemic, why do your kids "need to be in school" this fall? One of my former classmates just posted this and several people on this forum have done so as well. She is a wealthy attorney, member of a country club etc. She has the means to hire a caregiver to supplement distance learning and plenty of friends that she could set up a social pod with for her kids to socialize. Why do her kids "need to be in school" to the detriment of public health? Plenty of people are saving money now due to not having to commute, not having to pay for activities, not shopping and buying clothes, eating out less etc. Why can't they hire a caregiver to help their kids with distance learning? I understand that this is out of the price range for many, but not sure why so many affluent people in this area are saying their kids "need to be in school."


Np so you don't believe in education if you are wealthy? Not everyone wants to go back to governess!

You have a messed up view of family.


NP. Don’t worry, PP, I’m sure your husband views all of his money as yours, too. I mean, you also “work,” right? It was a joke, obviously. And a funny one at that.

Then why are so many high school kids going back for in-person?
