[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have some sympathy for people who need childcare.  Working parents need childcare!

The problem is that there are no good options.

Because Trump, and the Republican Party, screwed up the COVID response.  At best.  (At worst they sabotaged it intentionally for political advantage.)[/quote]

School is for education, not child care.  Child care is a bonus.  Need child care, pay for it.  [/quote]

What I don’t get about this trolling — “school not for child care” — is that it is so ridiculous, so nonsensical, that I do not understand the point.

I get why trolls want to be anti-teacher, because they hate unions and also want to damage public schools to cut taxes on the rich.

But “schools aren’t childcare” is so vapid that it hurts.  What’s the real point of saying it?  Maybe just to push people towards private schools (that you “pay for”?)

I guess a major thrust in conservatism is to encourage their own people to have lots of babies and stay at home, producing more little conservatives.  But this argument makes little sense when applied to the whole public.

So in summary: ???.  I don’t get this troll line.[/quote]

I'm pretty sure it is teachers or people who support teachers trying to say that full DL is all teachers are supposed to do.[/quote]
