us on this board are affluent enough and care enough for our kids that we are able to mitigate that impact.
My daughter has a father with degrees in math and science, she has a mother with degrees in history and French. She is one of the very lucky ones we have made sure that she has gotten an education throughout the stupidity her school district has inflicted on her. My child who is in all honors classes has mostly Cs and Ds because virtual learning does not work for a majority of the students.
If that is happening to a student with all of the advantages what do you think is happening to the thousands of kids in the two KCs? Most of those kids do not have parents qualified to teach them, many do not have a quiet place to sit and work and a very large number do not have reliable WiFi that allows them to spend seven hours a day in front of their computers.
But hey I'm sure you are right. What is another year to a kid who was already struggling to graduate? I'm sure he will pull himself up by his bootstraps, bounce back and makeup that missed year in no time.
Your last sentence was the only one that was not total garbage. The solution is to get these kids back in school yesterday and allow them to learn again. School districts have been tracing this thing for months now, the kids are not spreading this flu. The spread has been happening at home and in the relatively few cases where the kids are getting infected it is almost always adult to kid. In Missouri there have been two, count them two, Covid deaths to school aged children. THIS DOES NOT AFFECT CHILDREN! Get them back in school!
