I think the spike in suicides and reports from students and parents that kids are not doing well without social interaction speaks for itself.
So too did the school board; they were saying things that simply should not be said by people in a position of power. Some of it certainly went well beyond merely flippant.
- taeric 6y agoLast I heard, there were mixed results on the health implications to kids. Are there current reports during these spikes?
- zdragnar 6y agoI guess that depends on whether you trust the CDC: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/community/schools-childcare/schools.html https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/community/schools-... The section titled "COVID-19 in children and adolescents" has plenty of footnotes.
- taeric 6y agoHonestly, at this point things are just annoying complicated. I do feel that most people pushing to open schools are doing so from a convenience angle. Having the kids at home has been really difficult. Worse, isolating them at home has been cruel. But I have a hard time squaring fears of letting kids visit other families with kids, with this push to send them all back to school. :( Thanks for the footnotes. I will be perusing those when I can.
