Sending children back to school before we have Covid under control is a collective form of child abuse.

Oh please. If a child has the measles they stay home from school. Staying home to prevent an illness makes sense, just like staying home because you have one. Your parents aren’t “abusing” you; they’re keeping you from risking your life.

When will bd enough? If the virus don't disappear and no vaccine is found? Will excessive measures be the new norms? What would be your "red line"? Mandatory or compelled vaccination?

Marianne, do some research on vulnerable youth. These children’s only safe space is at school. They are being abused at home w/o mandatory reporters (teachers) helping keep them safe.

Kids carry everything! If you have never taught children and have had them come to you every day with every kind of sickness and skin disorders, etc.. then you don’t now how important it is to not push the kids back prematurely! Thank you @marwilliamson for speaking on this!!

I get what you're saying and that makes sense. The actual staying home isn't the abuse. But being stuck at home all the time increases domestic and child abuse for those kids that normally would get a reprieve in school.

That's not the same thing. You don't shut down the whole world because some children have measles, only the ones that actually need to stay home. Isolating all children is massive abuse.

If a child has measles THAT child stays home, the whole school wouldn’t close. We have never don’t shut down for the “flu season” death rates similar numbers in many years. If a particular child or school employee has underlying health issues they can stay home. #opentheschools
