so we agree that Trumps statement about parents and children dying from the trauma of staying home is fucking insane?
It’s untrue but it’s not insane. The dude exaggerates, like a salesman, which he is. I would say though, we will see some serious consequences of living in fear and sheltering. I don’t believe you have kids, I could be wrong, but I think I remember you saying that before. Anyway, I have children, and even though I am fortunate enough to make a living and my wife be able to say home, my kids need socialization. Not to mention my wife is not a teacher and can’t do a better job than a teacher. I have one child in a gifted school (humble brag, sorry) that he gets to do wonderful things that help his brain. He needs that stimulation. I have one that was supposed to start kindergarten in the fall, but because the schools are only opening two days a week, we’ve decided to put him in the preK at his current day care. To ask parents to stay home and home school their kids is what’s insane. Think about the families that can’t afford to do that? They couldn’t even get their kids to do work during the last quarter of the school year, how are they going to survive a whole year and a half out of school? This will be a lost generation, and that’s not Trumps fault no matter how much you want to pin all blame on him. Just have the kids wash and be diligent about their interactions at school, and have the teachers wear masks.
