[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm sorry, but school functions as child care for many families. When school buildings close, parents that can't work from home and can't magically conjure a new supply of child care during a pandemic, lose their incomes. If that offends you, I really can't help you, nor do I care to. You're on your own.[/quote]
 Teachers know part of their jobs is providing you with a form of childcare. No one is offended by that. However, it’s no one else’s responsibility but your own to provide for your kids if emergencies arise, pandemics occur,etc. [/quote]

Funny how the calculus suddenly changes when it's teachers that need child care. Then, it is up to MCPS to make sure they have time to get it. Lol.[/quote]

The alternative was that teachers didn’t work. And that pissed DCUM off.[/quote]

IT IS ALSO BAD IF OTHER PEOPLE CAN'T WORK. TEACHERS ARE NOT THE ONLY IMPORTANT PEOPLE IN THE WORLD.[/quote]

If teachers quit, who watches all the children?[/quote]

It doesn't matter because the women have already left the workforce so we're good.[/quote]

Most teachers are women so that makes sense.

If childcare access is key to women’s ability to work, childcare through school is the easiest way to provide access, AND most teachers are women, there is going to have to be childcare for teachers. Otherwise, teachers who are mothers will drop out of the workforce and school as childcare won’t be possible. [/quote]

I'm not against child care for teachers but remember, that's not my problem anymore than child care for nurses, doctors, paramedics, grocery store workers, and all the other people that have made our lives possible over the past year and change is teachers' problem.[/quote]
