[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Parents of school-aged kids have been much more politically active during than the pandemic than parents of prek kids. And it shows- child care and PreK kids have had the harshest covid restrictions, and the fewest options for avoiding or limiting quarantines.

We’re going to be in a world of hurt if parents of younger kids don’t step up to demand changes like adopting the shortened quarantine periods the CDC just announced, allowing rapid at-home tests to break quarantine, and implementing test-to-stay. Daycare and preschools don’t care about making these changes themselves- they get paid either way. We need state and county health departments to make these changes in their guidance, and that will only happen with political pressure.

Get to work, parents![/quote]

Ridiculous. The majority of child care programs have been open and serving children (with longer hours and lower pay than public sector teachers) for the entire pandemic. Your blame is in the wrong place. [/quote]

Do you think I was trying to blame the daycares? That wasn’t what I meant at all. I’m blaming the county and state health departments that aren’t giving them better policies and guidelines to follow.[/quote]
