I intentionally try to keep politics out of most of my threads/OPs. Helix, but I have kids who have have kids who have kids. I love them all dearly, and all kids dearly. I understand that different folks have different socio-economic situations, but no way in hell would I send my kids, grand kids, or great grand kids back into an unknown that could/may very well jeopardize their health, or those who they come into contact with, ad I have family who disagree with me, which I fully understand. That's not saying I expect all to be on the same page as myself; just my personal opinion/stance on this issue. My hope is that all the kids, and their loved ones, don't find out the hard way, that opting to send their loved ones back to school turns out to be a major disaster. Color me old school, I guess. Where family is concerned, I always err on the side of caution. But I certainly would never throw stones towards anyone that decides to take another path.
