[quote=Anonymous]As usual, the US can't invest in anything that might make us more equitable. There are plenty of solutions, they wouldn't be cheap but they would keep people working and get people back to work. Last year in my district there was a lot of talk about using swing spaces while schools were rehabbed. They could use those spaces now, pod kids according to whether they need full time care and have kids move from classroom time with a teacher to out-of-school time with a childcare provider who could provide enrichment and study hall part of the time and just keep them safe and occupied the rest of the time. Or the government could offer a large scale voucher program so that working parents could pay someone to watch kids during their remote school time. Both schemes would provide employment when so many are unemployed. Or they could pass legislation protecting working parents with childcare responsibilities from retaliation.[/quote]
