[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]i think the ralith is that many parents are going to have to sacrifice to pay for childcare for school aged kids during this time.  Stop retirement savings if needed for the year, stop college savings.  That or we leave our kids home alone.  Most jobs will be back in person by fall but kids won't.  [/quote]

I think this is right. I just hope there are enough good nannies/babysitters out there that we can all find someone to hire to provide childcare. Since group care doesn't seem likely to be a smart choice.[/quote]

Employees could make a Union? Even informally join together and demand flexible and work from home schedules.  A lot of employers are realizing people can work from home all of most of the time just fine and they can save a ton of money in office space rentals.  Those that have to go to work nurses, grocery store workers, teachers should be given priority at government subsidized small class sized childcare centers.
On the other end we as a culture could also start to value multiple generation homes, and having a stay at home parent.  To the point of creating government subsidized based on zip ocde cost of living for stay at home parents & care givers.  There are so, so, so many countries that have family programs that work. If the feds wanted they wouldn't have look very far to find plans that work & could be started here. They wouldn't even have to do all the research to get it going.

This is not a battle about schools being in or childcare it is about not valuing parenting in all its forms (single, lgbt+,foster/adoption, working/at home, families, grandparents, extended).  It is about loving people more than companies & money.[/quote]
