[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As long as we can also stop the "teachers are lazy" posts.[/quote] You’re unwilling to do your jobs. [/quote] Teachers are doing their kids. Their jobs have change and instead of complaining, they adapted. You now need to adapt.[/quote] I need to adapt? No. I’m an essential worker who has been working this entire time. Unlike you, her teachers have been working in person. That means she can attend school and I can earn money to put a roof over her head. My job cannot be done from home. What do you propose I do, since you apparently know everything and it’s all so easy?[/quote] Have your spouse or partner or family members or friends provide childcare. [b]If you have made life choices not to live in proximity.with any of those people[/b], use some of the money earned from your oh so important in person job to hire childcare. Reduce other expenses as needed to facilitate this. If you are truly low income (not house poor, etc by choice), financial aid options exist if you ivestigate them. You're welcome.[/quote] Surely you understand that this is not always a matter of “life choices”. Is it a life choice to have parents who fall ill or die? Is it a life choice to have to move for a job offer when you are laid off? Or to have two working parents in an economy explicitly designed around two-income families? Have you met... people? I guess if you are middle income and made the bad choice of having one set of parents die and the other dealing with a chronic health condition, you just shouldn’t have kids. Then, of course, there would be almost no kids and those no need for schools at all! Oh, and my friends can’t watch my kids because they also have jobs and kids and are in the same bind I’m in. What planet do you live on?[/quote] THANK you.[/quote]
