Fully in favor of shutting down schools but there needs to be a plan.
There needs to be a plan for safely educating and making sure kids in lower income situations have access to food, that they are secure, and that they have the devices and tools they need to get the education they require. I live in an affluent area and it is easy for me to say close the schools. I am they stay home parent and we have the resources to secure income, and provide anything our kids need. The reality is that for many this is not how it will work out and we cannot rely on people to provide for others. This requires real leadership from the top and we arent getting that. Even checks that the gov sends to get by will not get this fixed. It will be too little and too late and in some areas thee are technical burdens such as no internet that arent ease to solve.
We are so completely up shit creek and not a paddle to be found.
