Things that going back to school during a pandemic are not about:
- Forcing overworked Moms to go back to work for
low wages to keep the economy strong.
- Enabling parents to pursue business and
lifestyle dreams in which their children come second.
Things that going back to school during a pandemic are absolutely about:
- Ensuring that children receive the best possible
education, period.
- Ensuring that children receive the best possible
health care, period.
How does society accomplish this?
- Develop plans by listening to education and
healthcare professionals, not school boards and politicians.
- Collectively pay the full cost. Period.
There. That was simple, wasn’t it!
