This has nothing to do with politics.
Schools should open AND we need to defund education. Schools cannot be the Catch all for every social problem society does not know how to deal with. It’s not our mission or expertise. Meals should be through social services & rec centers. Same with mental health counseling for families.
As tragic as Raleshia Rudd is- the problem was not created by schools & it will not be mitigated by your local 2nd grade teacher

There are kids in my block who are going back to their home country (Guatemala). The single parent does not speak English. They live in one bedroom of a rowhouse. I’m sure he hasn’t re-enrolled them bc their plan is to go back home. But the date they are leaving keeps shifting. I worry about those kids and others like them. What will become of them?

The point, genius, is that too many aren't going anywhere. Those are the kids we should all be worried for

What happens when we get to Thanksgiving and another 1/5 of the kids who managed to successfully enroll have 30+ unexcused absences? Will they be required to repeat?

You think the three posters on DCUM are representative of a broader movement? That's hilarious. You must be new to DCUM.
You sound like DeSantis earlier this year. How'd that turn out, remind me?

There are kids without devices or WiFi still.
How were their parents supposed to navigate virtual enrollment?
Of course there is an undercount.
