      Some families can manage to keep their kids learning and less-stressed. Others, with less resources, won't be able to do so. I suspect the ones left behind will pay a huge, lifelong price, will never catch up, and, sadly, show up in every research study for the next four decades.https://twitter.com/rorycooper/status/1303319674164318209 …

      The system of haves and have nots right now is bad and getting worse. Families leaving public schools. At risk kids in crisis. Geography and politics informing decisions. This requires our attention.

      I don't understand how is not topic number one. Keeping young kids out of formal schooling and in high-stress, little/no supervision situations for a year or more—that's where we're headed—is potentially a life-changing event for children whose families cannot cushion the impact.

      "how is this not topic number one?" Because the U.S. is disintegrating as a polity. Its systems are slowly breaking apart or shutting down — or being shut down — as we get closer to the election. The attention system is one. This is an autocratic attempt, as @mashagessen says.

      Where's the local initiative? Where is the alleged entrepreneural spirit? There is deep malaise going on.

          I think the concern about health is more a concern about liability for health issues than actual health issues. Maybe those can be cleared up.

          Sclerotic & yet densely overgrown systems of control (with no funding) are handicapping any attempt. What sort of entrepreneurial spirit can overcome county control of education (in CA where I am) keeping individual cities/schools from pursuing other options?

          Look at how little is happening! No federal action or funding or emergency laws to make anything possible. Just complete political abdication by Repubs; everything put on lower rungs... Schools should be funded like it's a fcking war. Which it is.

          You're right to ask where those things have gone. Deeper than a malaise.
