[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To all those complaining that parents only see schools as babysitters and who want schools open so that they don't have to pay for childcare - why aren't you thinking about the large number of families who cannot pay for childcare?? Most of the upper middle class can figure this out and pay for alternatives. Those that are more financially challenged can also figure this out, but can't afford this option or for other reasons it may not be as easily solved.

So when you start hating on all parents for wanting schools back in, for any reason, please note that you are hating on some very vulnerable people in our society. The ones that can't afford tutors, who can't be one of the 2 million women who have dropped out of the workforce, the ones that technology does not come as easy to, etc.

I see this on so many posts and I can't imagine the liberally focused majority on this board can't open their minds to this....[/quote]

If they can’t afford kids, shouldn’t have had them. It’s a choice to be a parent. They were irresponsible. Teachers did not force them to reproduce even though it didn’t fit their lifestyle. [/quote]

If they didn't want to teach children in schools, they shouldn't have become public school teachers. It's a choice to be a teacher. They were irresponsible. Parents didn't force them to get education degrees and take jobs in public schools, even though the job didn't fit their lifestyle.[/quote]

It's truly disgusting how people who think like this are allowed to spew such selfishness and hatred towards their fellow citizens, and of course the anonymity of the internet gives them complete coverage, but *****ism has made it fashionable to be nasty, brutish nd proud. Those children that were born are here now, regardless of whether you deem them deserving of birth. [b]And it's society responsibility to take care of them[/b], or risk dealing with the crime, desperation and poverty that will eventually characterize them as adults (as well as the human capital you are sacrificing from neglecting millions of future productive citizens). Every other advanced society knows this, they invest in all of their children rather than let the selfishness of a small percent of greedy parents dictate public policy, and we wonder why America is slowly collapsing.

The silver lining in all of this is that all the cracks in our messed up socioeconomic system is being exposed and I think most people are starting to see how stupid and exploitative it was to turn schools into babysitting arenas in the first place by creating unequal tax systems, and forcing families to have to bring in two incomes just to scrape by in the first place.[/quote]

No, it's THEIR PARENTS' job to take care of them.  The schools' job is to provide education.  They are providing education.  Take care of the children you chose to bring into the world.  [/quote]
