This is a dumb, lazy response to a legitimate concern. There's zero reason why childcare workers and their employers can't be allowed to make their own decisions about whether they're able to open like all other businesses.

maybe the school district is protecting those workers to we continue to have child care workers.

There is no danger that we're going to run out of childcare workers if they're asked to commute in the rain.

yes, treating people even more poorly surely will result in them wanting to take those jobs, which already have trouble finding consistent employees.

Asking child care workers to come to work in the rain is not treating them poorly.

MCPS teachers and staff are the ones being treated poorly by having 4 hours of child care taken away from them this morning due to rain (but only a 2 hour delay for them to come to work.) Why aren't you concerned about the need to treat teachers well to keep them?

They need a backup plan. Or maybe I should say, multiple backup plans. I'm actually watching my neighbor's ES kids this morning for that very reason beacuse mom is a HS teacher, dad is out of town, and grandma is sick.....

Are you Thomas Taylor trying to justify being a complete dick by saying random neighbors should provide free unplanned child are?

You are the only person who read that poster’s post that way. Get a grip on yourself.

You don’t. You assume that the schools don’t care about childcare and plan accordingly.

They can get to work in the rain just like the rest of us.

Except they don’t have to, and that gets your pants in a twist. Oh well.

Wtaf is wrong with you?

Also this decision obviously contradicts what MCPS sent out in their 5,000 emails yesterday about the definition of a code yellow. It literally says “Before, after school, and childcare programs may operate as scheduled-check with your providers.” So…who changed it??

That's a decision for their employers to make, not for MCPS to force upon private child care providers. In the past, some opened and some did not, based on local conditions and staffing capacity. It is ridiculous and offensive for MCPS to force this in a top down manner.

They aren’t “private childcare providers.” They operate under the auspices of the school district. You’re welcome to pay more and arrange daily transportation for your kid to ACTUAL private childcare providers offsite if you want different weather policies. 🤷‍♀️

Sure let the private providers choose to stay open. MCPS does not have to open their schools early for them to use them though.

DP they are definitely private providers, and Thomas Taylor is being a complete and total ahole. The fact you hate working moms is neither here nor there.

They're not the only one.

Either you're a defensive MCPS staffer, or a judgmental jerk who just gets off on taunting frustrated parents. (Or both.)

Ooh, do the poor wittle child care workers need the heroic MCPS's protection from the scary rain? Go away, CO staffer. Iit is utterly out of line for MCPS to cost families (and child care workers) millions of dollars in lost wages by imposing a countywide decision on private child care providers who know their neighborhoods and their staff and should be able to make their own decisions just like any other private employer in the county.

Are you 12? I’m embarrassed for you.

Your kids. Your problem. Figure it out.

Stop lying. They are private providers who rent space from MCPS.

I am a working mom. No, I am not a “CO worker.”

You, however, are an imbecile.
