What? We are at a bilingual charter and know a few families that are working together in our kids' grades. (We are sharing a babysitter with another family a few afternoons a week ourselves.) And we know others in bilingual charters that have pods with 3-4 families total.[b] While there are certainly issues with equity[/b] and who can and who can't afford help, there is no gossip and or talking behind backs. Everyone understands that everyone has to make life work right now however than can.
