I thought the risk to children is super low though?
And if it is, wouldn't switching to a remote setting be way worse, because school at the lower levels isn't about teaching topics but about learning how to interact with people?
One or two years go by quickly as a working adult, but it's an incredibly long time for a child, having only online contact with people for such a long time will surely be worse for them, no?
- crawfordcomeaux 5y agoMaybe, but coming out with a chronic condition like an autoimmune disease is maybe not so comparable to emotional trauma that can be healed from. Also, why is school still in session? There are other ways to meet needs besides school and they're way healthier than how we do school anyway. That's why I advocate for large pandemic bubbles designed to be as self-sustaining as possible, and not isolation or remote learning. The adult world's perspective is super skewed. The options most people consider are isolating, bubbling small, or denying the risks. There's more we can do.
