Can I hear from any others who don't want their kids to attend in person school?
I don't know if anyone else is in the same boat as me. I know there are many who don't want to think about this, feel fine about sending their kids back to school in the fall, or are fine with waiting to see where things are. I respect your point of view, but it won't help to be told that I am wrong. I am looking for support from anyone else who feels they do not want to send their kid(s) to school in the fall, especially if your kids really want to go.
We are doing well in my county and state, and I think it is unlikely we will be all on-line in the fall. I do understand the hardships involved for some related to on-line learning and this is not about one size fits all. That said, I feel there are still too many unknowns with Covid 19. As another concern, my school district has not met rules, regulations, guidelines about other things pre-Covid 19; I just dont think they could meet regulations necessary to keep things safe. As a family, none of us fall into any high risk categories,but we do all come close to being in a high risk category in one way or another.
Additionally, dd is doing better academically with on-line learning; it works better in terms of her learning issues. Ds would definitely be better served academically in person. Nevertheless, I still dont feel okay about having them in schools.
However, they both desperately want to go back to school. Dd will be a high school senior and ds a first year high school student. It just sucks. I am not exactly looking for advice as there is no easy answer here. Just looking for others who are having a similar struggle.
