[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It blows my mind that people are so angry at schools / teacher / administrators and not directing their ire at our government who has failed us completely AT EVERY TURN. [/quote]

Yes.  This.

Don't rail at the schools for closing.  Rail at the health department for not setting clear metrics for school opening and the lack of testing and contact tracing.  
 Rail at the governor for letting bars and restaurants open which is leading to more cases.  
Rail at the feds for not setting a coordinated nationwide response to stop the virus and leaving us all mired in a patchwork of state and local regulations regarding masks and openings--a hotspot anywhere in the country has the potential to lead to cases anywhere unless state borders are closed.

And instead of crying about what they will do for childcare without schools, how about pushing local, state and federal officials to help solve this problem, including pushing employers to provide childcare as a benefit instead.   Look for an alternate solution instead of having a temper tantrum and blaming school boards, superintendents and teachers.

(I am well aware that many parents do need childcare while they work outside the home at essential businesses and do not have many options, but my experience is that it is not those parents who are melting down.  Those parents are using their time and effort to finding actual solutions to that problem instead of just posting rants on social media.)[/quote]
