[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nearly all of my students in an all lower income school have a parent or relative at home with them. A few of them who don’t go to neighbors. [/quote]

I’m sure this is true. Adults are at home in rich households and poor households. As always, it’s the middle class getting squeezed. And criticized on this board. [/quote]

I live in an area where there is absolutely true. While I support trying to reopen schools, at least for students who need it most if it can be done as safely as possible, it does seem that the wealthiest are screaming the loudest. I live in an area with many government workers, police officers, teachers, administrative workers, etc. They don't have a cushion to pay for extra childcare. Not only that, but many non-wealthy professionals have very difficult professional work lives that are not family friendly. I have no doubt but that I would have left the workforce if this happened when my kids were young. There is only so much one or two people can do in a day.[/quote]
