[quote=Anonymous]Still leaves two major issues: first, who’s watching kids under the age of 12 while their parents work? Second, twenty percent of families will still double down on tutoring, supplements, extracurricular, etc - specifically families with a stay at home parent (typically middle class or better) or money to hire people (wealthy). So you still end up with huge inequities. Like, I’m not a tiger mom by any stretch, and we’ve been pretty chill this year about not worrying about school. But if I found out 3rd grade was “cancelled”, and I’m still working from home, I’m still going to hire a tutor cum nanny to spend a couple hours every day with my son so his brain doesn’t turn to mush. Even if he’s not following a specific school schedule. [/quote]
