[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The insane waitlists for daycare.

The nanny shortage.

The lack of parental leave.

What can reasonably be done to even take a step in the right direction?[/quote]

Stay home and you take care of your children.  I did.  Why can't you?[/quote]

Since you're fundamentally uninterested in recognizing any problem here, you might want to move along from this discussion. [/quote]

There is no problem.  Your children are not my problem or concern.  What is it about this that none of you understand?  [/quote]

Ah a isolationist! You exist only in this world alone- is the correct? Nothing about how other people's children are raised or cared for impacts our society? Employment doesnt impact our society? Do you and your children not live in society? Do you understand what happens when there is no middle class or do you just hope to be on the rich side of that divide?

Your kids are your responsibility.  There is zero reason you should be entitled to free child care.  No, your employment doesn't impact society.  Real middle class get child care help in this area.  The problem are rich people claming to be middle class living in million dollar homes who expect hand outs.[/quote]

Thank you! I'm so tired of the whining from the UMC meanwhile you find out their retirement + stock accounts are fat and flush. Give me a break.[/quote]

I will never, as long as I live, forget the woman on DCUM during 2020 who threw the largest ongoing adult temper tantrum I have ever seen, with multiple furious, bile-spewing responses, who claimed she NEEDED THE SCHOOLS OPEN RIGHT NOW I DON’T CARE NOW NOW NOW because she “couldn’t afford childcare” while she worked. She blew an everloving gasket when she revealed that she had a several thousand dollar European vacation fund and people suggested she use that for childcare.  :roll:[/quote]

It's weird that you are very opposed to subsidizing childcare but you were fine with your tax dollars paying for schools that were closed to students, all to stick it to some anonymous woman on the internet. What a consistent and reasoned fiscal policy.[/quote]

They weren’t “closed.” Services were provided. You didn’t like them, but that’s too damn bad.[/quote]

Handing out only sh!t sandwiches does not equal feeding people. It has been made very clear that prolonged school closures with virtual teaching (NOT learning) was catastrophic to women in the workforce in addition to students suffering. That cannot be ignored. 
Childcare shouldn’t be subsidized (with rare poverty exception) because certain classes of people decided to stick it Trump by not returning to work in the pandemic. [/quote]

I know you’ll throw a screaming fit, but the schools’ responsibility is to educate (which yes, they did in a pandemic, whether you liked it or agreed with it or not), not to house your kids for you so you can work, at all times and under all circumstances. That may have been a byproduct that people came to incorrectly rely upon, but it is not the purpose of public education. Sorry.[/quote]

Sweet Jesus. The fact that I have to explain that there have been dozen and dozens of reports and studies showing catastrophic learning loss from school closures proves an education was NOT provided. You may have been yammering into zoom or simply phoning it in, but kids weren’t getting educated and it caused a child care crisis.  
And yes housing students in building called schools built with public funds is part of public education. [/quote]
