It´s remarkable how little pushback urban public school systems are getting on their decision to stay closed.https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2020/10/schools-arent-superspreaders/616669/ …

Yes, and if Trump wasn't president maybe we'd be having a semirational discussion on the costs (family stress, loss of intellectual and social development etc) vs benefits of keeping them closed, like they do elsewhere. Private schools have largely reopened in NYC btw.
Classic example of survivorship bias in political discourse, you don't hear the pushback because the people who are most negatively affected by it have no outlet/venue that speaks for their interests in government

For us it's a pain in the ass, and the kids hate it. I can't even imagine how non rich people who can't work from home handle this, frankly.

Probably they aren't! I would guess that many low income children are not going to receive an education this year and yet most articles I have read that resemble "pushback" are about the lack of broadband access in poor neighborhoods
