Dr. Greene said there could be a mix of in-person and remote learning in the fall, and his goal is to make sure all students can get online and have devices to learn on. But he worries that providing laptops to students could make them vulnerable to crime.
Red is worried poor youth are vulnerable to crime, and may need more help from government.
Libtard!
About 26 million public-school students, just over half in the U.S., are considered low-income and rely on free or reduced-price meals at school.
Think about that
I have. That is why I support the fight for 15 so their parents can make a living wage to support them without relying on free school meals.
And again, the school lunch program applies to remote learners also.
Im sure Dr. Greene would appreciate your input
I am sure poor kids appreciate your continuing to pretend you give a damn about them.
As parents, we will face many moments of anxiety: seeing our children off on their first day of kindergarten, their first day of camp, their first year of college. We may want to keep them home to protect them from the world, which can indeed be a frightening place. But let’s be clear, when we do that, we are not really protecting our children. We are only attempting to manage our own anxiety, and we do that at their expense. We are acting as negligent parents. We are harming our children. We are failing them.
We must agree to make decisions in the best interest of the children. If we do not—if, paralyzed by fear, we continue to act purely out of self-interest—we will ensure an entire generation of traumatized young adults, consigned to perpetual adolescence and residency in their parents’ garages, unable to move through life with independence, courage, and confidence. They deserve better—we owe it to them as parents.
Mark McDonald, a psychiatrist who specializes in children and at-risk youth, testifying at a June 24 hearing of the Orange County, Calif., Board of Supervisors
I hope you agree
I intend to make that exact argument to the cops next time I get stopped for going 45 in a school zone.
Or, if you prefer, I know a specious platitude when I see it.
