This.

How many are coming from a place of privilege?

75% of people in ward 7/8 are obese.

This virus predominantly kills people of color. The most affected areas are people of color.

Regardless if everyone DIES from Covid-19, is it ethical to allow someone who has a higher risk to risk getting Covid even if they’ll survive?

so you think it’s ethical for kids to get schooling based on whether they are rich enough to pay for private school?

Did you think the inequity of ward 7/8 schools compared to other wards was ok?
Do you think gentrification as it stands today is ok?
Do you think that having the closest 'grocery' near you be 711 is ok and then shame people when they wonder why the 'cheap' Whole Foods didn't do well?

Yea, this is so about rich families who ALWAYS experience privilege regardless. Nice deflecting.

Pretty sure private schools don't continue school with gas leaks, have class in rooms with no window, run out of soap, have kids who break glass windows, threaten to commit suicide or kill another student, etc, etc, etc.

They are so much more prepared, why? Money, that the rich pay for. We bought into capitalism and now we lay in it. This is capitalism. Now that middle class non-POC families are effected it's an issue?

White person here living in a predominantly black/ Latino ward. While I’m sure there’s plenty of white folk in upper NW who have an attitude of exceptionalism and don’t think they can catch the virus in their affluent bubble, there’s a ton of people in my neighborhood not social distancing or wearing masks who are also not at work. They’re partying or hanging or whatever and yeah they’re obese too. Sorry, I know calling this out doesn’t fit the SJW narrative but let’s be real. In my ward it’s not White people at the pick up basketball or soccer games. It’s not the white people hanging out in large groups in the alleys and on the corners. It’s not the grocery store workers or UPS guys either.

Raising kids becomes a hobby- like knitting or marathon training. I really hope one of the longer lasting impact of this situation is that many people stop reproducing. Truly.

This isn’t a part time gig.

I have friend out of the area whose elementary school kids are in hybrid format 5 days a week, in am/pm format. No one eats lunch at school. Specials are all virtual and the time spent at school is on ela and math. Why can’t we do do that?

This sounds exactly right.

1. Kids whose freaking parents don't pick them up ON TIME.
2. There are 90 minutes each day that account for teacher lunch and planning time.

If you're ok with about 2 hours of live each day (counting recess) then this plan sounds ok to me.
But you're forgetting 1 thing...how many teachers and paras do we have for in person? If we can't even fulfill THIS strange plan how can we do Hybrid??
