[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The sooner people accept this new reality the better.  Schools in this area will look very different this fall.  Kids will likely only be in the classroom one or two days a week.  Smart parents are preparing for this new reality. [b]You will not have school as your childcare.[/b]  If that doesn’t work for you, it’s time to consider relocating to a more rural part of the US.  Or, plan to homeschool.  [/quote]

Which do you prefer, kids staying home by themselves unsafely (or going to work with their parents unsafely), or kids going to school? Those are your choices.[/quote]

She doesn’t work and therefore this whole situation makes her feel useful again (Honey I couldn’t possibly get a job! What if there’s another pandemic?) [/quote]

Again with the assumptions. I work.[/quote]

Sure you do. In that case what is your plan when schools don’t open in the fall as you insist they will not?[/quote]

Wait.  You don’t believe I work outside the home?  Don’t most of us? I think every family will find a different solution.  I hope some kind of childcare will be available, especially for first responders and essential employees. I am one of the lucky ones.  I can do most of my work at home.  My DH is working from home as well.  I realize how very fortunate we are.  If the schools offer solid distance learning, we will go with that.  Otherwise, we will look at the k-12 option.  We also have the ability to move back home to our rural hometown if we have to.  Not ideal.  But none of this is.

It doesn’t help to attack me for being realistic about next year.  My feelings are as valid as yours. We don’t have to agree with each other to be kind to each other. [/quote]
