This has everything to do with setting priorities and having the will to implement plans (or at least try) to effectuate those priorities.  

And of course, there are those who prefer to just say "can't be done" and leave it at that, without trying . . . which is a perfectly reasonable position, I'm sure guided by your own set of priorities.

And of course, there are those who prefer to just say "must be done" and leave it at that,  I'm sure guided by your own set of priorities.


Your priorities are not my priorities.  Your trade-off of health risk & potential lives lost versus in-school presence is not my trade-off.

I just talked this afternoon to a member of a California community where the public school system just announced going back to partial-week in-school classes.  That person had just talked to the principal of a private school that is offering at-home schooling.  The principal indicated that they are being slammed by 1/3 of the public school students now wanting admission to the private school (an increase in enrollment by more than 10x).

Some will note this will further distance the haves and the have-nots.  Those that believe sending kids back to school is risky but don't have the resources or opportunity to seek other solutions will unfortunately have to bear those risks, if the public schools are not going to offer an alternative.
