[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can only speak for my household's virtual learning (5th, 3rd, K), with two parents working remotely as well, but it's been a significant challenge.  Our kids, and many in the same classroom, are struggling according to our kids' teachers.  Given a stimulus is being crafted, has anyone heard of compensation for parents that have had to contribute significantly to their child's education to fill the gaps caused by the demands for continued virtual learning?  I'm sure like many, we've purchased online tutorials, workbooks, etc - not to mention our own time away from our jobs and lost productivity.  I hate to try and 'get mine', but unfortunately this is the attitude that's being put forth by the FCPS union leaders and teachers.  It seems only fair then that parents are compensated for their time, stress and best efforts to close to the gaps that forced virtual learning throughout FCPS has caused.[/quote]

If this doesn't ooze "privilege" then I don't know what does. What do you think low-income families with parents working multiple jobs do? No one is reimbursing them...we are in the middle of a once-in-a-century GLOBAL PANDEMIC. Your life is going to be inconvenienced. Your children are going to have some inconveniences as well.  Your kids will be ok. You will be ok. You do not need to be compensated for your "time, stress and best effort."  :roll:  :roll:  :roll: [/quote]

Exactly - OP be thankful you can supplement; be thankful you can take some time from your job. Many cannot and their kids are really really struggling. You have no idea.[/quote]
