If you never engage with any of these communities and now you are using them as an argument for opening schools during the pandemic, you are a bad person.

It's completely reasonable to expect to have the earn the trust of disadvantaged communities after failing them for so long. That they're saying they won't be the first to go back doesn't mean that they won't go back. Some will want to see evidence that schools have operate safely. The most convincing evidence is to demonstrate it.

That at-risk students often won't be among the first back is not an excuse to do nothing.

And neither is it a reason to open schools mid-surge. People need to stop arguing that people who don't think schools should be open right now don't care about food insecurity, poverty, child abuse, etc. because it is simply not the case.

And you should know based on your experience that someone claiming that no children in this country suffer any adversity because they haven’t experienced war or famine is clueless and wrong.

That PP was shockingly awful. My God.

It is not shockingly awful to say that the “traumas of remote learning doesn’t compare to war or famine. That’s absurd.

DP. This is the exact quote, and yes, it is an awful thing to say:

No, it won’t. Kids survive famine and war and parents in the US can’t imagine their child having to survive the smallest adversity. It’s embarrassing.

I completely disagree. It is awful to compare the impact of online learning with living in an area with open warfare. To state that your child is facing anywhere near that level of trauma and devastation is delusional and offensive.

No one is saying that DL is comparable to war and famine. The smug, self-righteous “war refugee family” PP was stereotyping all American parents and kids as privileged and entitled and implying that none of them have experienced any real adversity (i.e., war or famine) and that they can’t handle experiencing a small little adversity like DL. Obviously, that is complete horsesh!t, as millions of American kids experience real adversity every day and DL really exacerbates most of those problems.

My God, none of you on either side can read. The pro-DL poster with the awful quote essentially imagined posts that aren't even in the thread (and has been asked for proof, which of course won't be forthcoming). Meanwhile the war refugee post is AGAINST the pro-DL people. The war refugee post supports your side, you dolt.

You are the dolt. The point is not so much pro or anti DL as it is the war refugee family poster implying that Americans haven’t experienced adversity because there is no war or famine.
