[quote=Anonymous]OP, I know plenty of families like yours. UMC working parents need education, childcare, and socialization for their kids, and we'll make sure they get it. It's funny because our DC's elementary school teacher asked us to keep our bubbles to the other kids in DC's hybrid cohort that goes to school for less than 3 hours 4 times per week. All the parents said sure, but in reality people have nannies, babysitters, tutors, pods, extracurricular activities, play dates with others, etc., not to mention entirely separate set ups for siblings while they take the in-person scraps we're offered. No one is sacrificing their jobs that pay the mortgage to appease this childless teacher who is terrified of getting COVID despite getting vaccinated.

If we had full-time school, then it would be easier to forego much of these other in-person activities. If they would stretch school until 4:30 PM by having specials at the end of the day (specials teachers could start their day later and end later) or another way to keep the number of hours a teacher works to contract limits while extending school hours, then some parents would also be able to give up after school babysitters. I know we would find a way to make it work with just school from 8:15 am - 4:30 pm and outdoor play dates with masks with other kids in the class. It would actually be safer than what many of us have to do now.[/quote]
