[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Even if it was the right thing to do, you have to at least recognize that taking a major source of child care away from working parents - not just during school hours, but also all the before and after care programs that were shut down (as well as several full day child care providers for young children that operated in schools and were not permitted to reopen for months), put families in a huge bind. So when teachers (REAL TEACHERS) go on Facebook whining about how "school is not child care" and "take care of your children" it sounds really glib and insensitive. You can whine all you want about how it's "not the school system's responsibility" - but that choice, by the school system to essentially wash its hands of this issue until child care providers got together and advocated for a solution for parents (after 5 months) had major negative economic impacts for families, to say nothing of the impact on children.[/quote]

It was always a completely disingenuous POV from day one. Those teachers shamed others for not having having childcare when the school buildings closed, while obviously being in position to work from home with their own kids. Those particular teachers, and posters on this board supporting them, are simply clowns.[/quote]

Some of those same posters are saying how could you expect teachers to teach in-person and/or summer school without childcare. None of them are credible at all.[/quote]

I have never once seen a teacher (either on Facebook, or someone claiming to be a teacher on DCUM) acknowledging that closing school buildings presented a serious and legitimate problem for families.[/quote]
