[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I,expect a lot of older teachers and paras will not return next year or will take a leave of absence. Subs will not come either.  This two,shift system has no chance. Schools are not baby sitters.[/quote]

True: Schools are not babysitters.

Also true: One of the things schools do is provide child care.[/quote]

Then states should just hire child care workers if what is most important is having any adult willing to watch the kids 6-7 hours a day, whether or not that adult knows the content or how to teach it. Just open child care centers and pack 30 kids into a room. Hell, why offer only the regular school day hours? Run ‘em 24 hours a day. Then the parents will be free to do whatever they want. Any parent who really wants their child to learn can opt for distance learning instead. That can be done asynchronously. [/quote]

I mean, I agree with you that states should hire child care workers. But child care is a need in states that want everybody to go back to work. And if everybody is supposed to go back to work, why keep the schools closed and set up a new separate non-school child-care system? Re-opening the schools should be one of the highest priorities. Kids need to go to school. [/quote]

Health should be the highest priority. If people want to put their children in unhealthy settings so they can work more than they want learning at home, give them state-funded cattle pens. But don’t force others to have only one unhealthy option.[/quote]

no one is forcing you to go back to work or send your kids to school. Unemployment and home school are options. You don't get to slow the world down because you're a puss  [/quote]
