[quote=Anonymous]So, I have childcare. I have a full time nanny. Who is great at being a nanny - we've had her for a very long time. But as we learned in the spring - she's not great at teaching, nor assisting with distance learning activities. We didn't hire her for her technical skills - we hired her for her care giving skills.

What I don't currently have is access to education for my children. I am so sick of hearing school isn't childcare. Fine. But distance learning is terrible. It doesn't fulfill it'ls primary purpose of education. You simply cannot say that the purpose of school is to educate, and then fail to do that very thing. It has to educate children - in whatever format it's in. It has to be effective. And distance learning for young children is not effective, and simply does not work.

So yes, generally, children that require childcare ALSO happen to require an in person education. You win - school isn't childcare - but younger elementary children need to be taught in person.[/quote]
