Absolutely not— CDC guidelines require mitigation. Kids are not vaccinated and need protection. That doesn’t mean they need to be stuck DL.

+1. Private schools are working because they are doing masks and distancing. They aren’t cramming kids into a room. The only reason they can do 5 days is because their class sizes are smaller to begin with. It’s just a reality that large public schools have to do hybrid right now.

She knows what the in person requirements are at her school and they effectively remove all opportunities for normal social interaction with her friends and classmates, so she doesn’t want the stress involved in all the precautions when she won’t get much benefit of social interaction. She’s staying in touch with her friends via apps and games and she’s doing well in DL, loving math this year and getting all As.

Some kids are doing well on DL so I don’t think it’s fair to say it’s just across the board terrible. We are working class with working class resources.

DL isn’t ideal but we are in the middle of a pandemic with the highest daily death rate happening right now. When I read here I am often appalled by the lack of patience and the sense of entitlement. Is seems like many of you - and your children - would never have endured the Great Depression or the routine deprivations of WWII. Your kids are meant to be the future leaders of our country?

Well if it’s working for your niece, it must be fine for everyone else too.

The point is that some kids are thriving on DL, some are doing fine, some are struggling and some are failing miserably. Sounds about like the range of public school AND private school experience in regular times, amplified by the fact that we are in highly irregular times.

But here we are going through an epic human experience and y’all are demanding things be just like before, and screaming like spoiled toddlers that they aren’t. It’s just very revealing.

You are the PP who wrote,”DL isn’t ideal but we are in the middle of a pandemic with the highest daily death rate happening right now”? If so, you used a false, fear laden statement to support the necessity of DL which you state I say not “ideal”. If we are currently far from the highest daily death rate and dropping, then it shouldn’t be used as a reason to validate the perceived need to stay fully DL.

Many of us can’t read it. Could someone copy and paste?
