Confused if parents want schools to reopen or not? I read so many posts here about how difficult it is to work full time and manage kids’ at-home schooling (I can’t even imagine!) so would assume that means parents want to reopen, but at the same time keep seeing a ton of backlash from parents in states who are pushing to reopen due to safety reasons. What’s the general consensus?

Where I live (Loundoun County, VA) based on the public schools' survey people is divided. Half voted for the hybrid model (kids two days attending school and three days online per week), and half elected full online classes. Not that this is representative for the nation, just an example.

Honestly I don’t know what I want. In an ideal world, kids would go back to school but it doesn’t feel like the school district has plans with enough precautions in place and I’m not even sure there are enough precautions that can be taken given the attitudes of some Americans around wearing masks, etc.

So the higher income bracket who either have one stay at home parent or already have a nanny are behind the we shouldnt be forced to send back our kids to school consensus while the young professionals with toddlers are asking for daycares/montessori to reopen. At least, that is what I have seen. I agree having a safe school environment is needed but billing is required.

The federal government does provide some funding to public schools but as I recall it’s less than 10 percent. But yeah it doesn’t seem like the federal dept of Ed. is going to be telling people what to do.

I live in a suburb of Dallas and they did a poll last month and 70% of parents wanted in-person learning. However today they announced they will start the year with virtual learning ☹️
My twins learned very little March-May and were a little behind to begin with so this will only put them further behind.

Any New York attorneys come across any interesting or helpful case law lately? Reading a recent update, there was a decision that said where a parent uses a temporary order of legal and physical custody to exclude the other parent, it's within the Court's rights (with other factors) to interpret that as an inability to coparent and award custody to the prior non-custodial parent.

I am long distance with my boyfriend and am feeling really unsettled about our relationship. We’ve been together 9 months, and long distance for 4/ 9. I love him and am lonely while distanced, but super happy with our relationship. I’m unsettled about the future and if we will be happy together in the future. I do not want to move to where he is located and he does not want to move here. He definitely wants kids, and I’m younger and more unsure. He’s a suburbs guy, and I want lavish city life.
