The younger the age you teach, the less you make in this country. Parents of young children should advocate to change that and should show public support for the care they’re getting so they can telework.

You can’t make more than working parents can afford to pay. That’s the reason your pay is lower than public school teachers who are paid with government funds.

Yet plenty of nannies in this area make more than public school teachers.

"Plenty" is an overstatement. Surely you know that unless you're complete out-of-touch. Plus there's only a very small number of families that afford even a cheap nanny.

So go be a nanny instead? I’m sure there’s a rich family in Potomac/McLean that will pay up.

This is unfortunately true. Child care should be a common good funded by the government.

Yes, this!

I don't think so. There were only changes to restaurant & indoor capacity in MoCo, as far as I know.

It does not appear there are changes. Montgomery county executive order does not have a limit of 10 persons indoor maximum. Anne Arundel and Prince Georges does but officially daycare‘s have not heard of any restrictions. It appears that if they do close things down they will be Handling it differently than in the spring and perhaps not shut down day cares in the same way.

The Anne Arundel order's 10-person limit only applies to social gatherings, and explicitly excludes businesses and other entities that are covered by other capacity/gathering restrictions. So daycares definitely aren't included.

I haven't been able to find the actual text of the PG County order, but I strongly suspect it is similar.

I hate it when they just post press releases without posting the actual orders.

The new health order (it wasn't done as an executive order) doesn't provide new restrictions on child care as far as I can tell:
