[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s a version of what our society has done to poor women, who disproportionately women of color, for, what, our whole history?  Part of the system maintaining itself is keeping women too exhausted to advocate for change, as a PP noted.

[B]My primal scream is in response to “school is not daycare,” because, yes, school is a form of childcare.  I will always be enraged at anyone who dared say that, particularly teachers.  I don’t expect them to solve it, but if you don’t acknowledge this truth, GFY.[/b][/quote]

I don't think individual teachers say this very often, at least not any more. It was a union talking point, but unions have mostly quietly dropped it because they saw so much angry response from it. Unions are aware of just how angry community members are, and have pivoted their talking points. These days it's mostly said by isolated and wealthy white women.

It's a horrible thing to say. One of the nastiest parts of this pandemic has been hearing hearing unions and teachers wildly disparage childcare workers. [/quote]
