The dangerous and long term mental health consequences of not re-opening schools (opinion)
Submitted by Carson Now Reader on Thu, 07/23/2020 - 5:29pmI am a desperate parent trying to find help. I’m a scared parent wanting to start an open & constructive conversation about our schools in the fall. My public comments have been silenced or not acknowledged. I’m not alone, I’m in the majority & we should have the choice to choose what’s right for our kids.
I think GOV SISOLAK should at least, give us, NEVADA parents & teachers, the CHOICE on whether we want our kids to return or not return to school full time. It should be OUR choice and decision.
