No parents will be expected to spend even more money to get a babysitter/nanny and return to work or lose their job.

As a woman and a mom I have already had to quit my job since March to stay at Home with my two younger elementary school kids. And of course camp was canceled so there is that. So I can't even begin to look for another job until school goes back to normal.

It sucks. And it's reality. But the school systems don't seem to care about the crappy education that is being provided through DL especially to young elementary kids. They certainly don't care about parents. I just don't know what the solution is but I have never been so stressed in my life.[/quote]
Literally everyone feels this way. That doesn’t make it less profound but it is the reality of a crisis of this magnitude. Even if schools opened up at full capacity, how long do you think it would be before students and staff began getting sick and they had to close down for weeks at a time? It would do nothing to solve your childcare problem. [/quote]

They wouldn't close down the whole school system. They would close individual schools. [/quote]
And when that’s your child’s school, how does that help you? You’re still SOL for the next two weeks. [/quote]

PP, I think that we can all understand the difference between

(1) 166,000 students out of school indefinitely
(2) [however many students are in your child's school] out of school for 2 weeks[/quote]
Again, how would that be comforting to the parents of the children who attend that school? It’s not like they would be allowed to just drop in to another school for the duration of the shutdown. [/quote]
