It’s a tough choice really. Not opening schools will absolutely fuck working parents but if things remain as it is right now you can never bring this beast under control.
like everything else regarding COVID it should not be political but we all know it’ll be.
I live in a red state and our response at the state level has been laughable. Most leadership has been poor on this. If you’re pointing left v right on this you’re just trolling.
Regarding schools, like everything else, it's going to be done on the state level. I don't think it has been definitively decided yet here, but the most likely scenario at the moment is a partial reopening of schools with staggered schedules and a mixing of in-person with online learning. Thinking back to my High School days and how packed that school was at all times, this might be the best approach. But lets get to the fall first and see what happens, a lot can happen in two months.
Lmao fuck this administration. Giving out taxpayer money to so many bullshit corporations and churches that don’t contribute to society at all. I guess this is what capitalism is. Fucking snakes.
My 4 year old is in pre-school right now, as we speak. 3 days a week, the same as Pre-COVID. Obviously with the size of classes being halved from 16 to 8, along with other restrictions.
Trust me when I tell you, my wife and I absolutely agonized over this decision. But we also knew that interaction with others, even on a limited basis, is fundamentally necessary to his development.
It's not an easy choice for any parent to make, but they should leave that decision to the Parents. You want to open up the schools? Go for it. But don't punish the children or their parents if they do not feel comfortable doing it yet
