Education can occur safely in your living rooms and bedrooms. Plus, DCUM parents like to tell us that school attendance doesn’t matter and kids “learn so much more” from that trip to Disney when it’s not crowded or a mid-October week at the lake house than they ever learn in a classroom.

Babysitting can also occur in your home. It just won’t be free.[/quote]

If you have a child who is learning well in your living room/bedrooms, good for you. Also good for you if you're working well in your living room/bedrooms!

Meanwhile, for the rest of the kids, the schools need to open. It would be unacceptable if people started working again at all of the workplaces where people are not currently working, but schools stayed closed.[/quote]

Seriously. Our day consists of 5-10 complete meltdowns because our son needs assistance understanding an assignment or getting clarity on how to do it. Because the time with the teacher is limited to 40 minutes a day in a group setting, he is not equipped to do the assignment. Then he asks for help constantly. My wife and I are working at home and can't stop to spend 4 hours a day teaching him. So he gets frustrated and throws a huge tantrum. Kids in elementary school need more direction and time with the teacher. There are no small groups or breakout rooms. There is just 1 class a day for 40 minutes. It's actually WORSE than when we had no assignments.[/quote]
