[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This thread is so unforgiving of parents and families who were going through sheer hell before vaccines were widely available. DC's kindergarten teacher went to certain students homes several times a week to ensure they had food and learning materials and tutored them outside on the playground. And even with that amount of effort (which is absolutely above and beyond what a teacher needed to do) students still could not keep up. It is not parents' fault that they work several in-person jobs. And the relative who is watching several kids during the day cannot be expected to help with online school. If I were that relative, I would absolutely be relying on tablet-care.
 
Young kids are very resilient and I hope this shakes out okay for them in the coming years.[/quote]

It absolutely is the parents responsibility to provide suitable care for their child, either themselves or someone capable of more than “tablet-care.” It’s called being a parent. [/quote]

And what happens when the demand for child-care highly exceeds the supply for child-care due to a global pandemic? Prices of existing child-care go up and people who work jobs have to figure something out.  And the way they parent is to find a way to make it work for that temporary situation of unforeseen circumstances.  Some of you, really truly, need to step outside of yourselves and imagine that people were forced to make very difficult choices given their handful of crappy options during this time.

Don’t bother. These posters are screaming at projections of themselves to resolve their own anger and hostility about being a parent. Has nothing to do with reality. [/quote]
