[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's just odd, because the rest of us already had to make these choices (quit to care for kids, hire child care, move a family member in, etc).

I'm lost as to how this is different for teachers.

Like, before the pandemic, were teachers just allowed to not work because they had non-newborns?  Obviously not.  [/quote]

It is different because there is a pandemic. The relative or nanny or small at home daycare people may have used before may not be available. Also, your post assumes that pre-covid, teachers didn't face these very same choices you had to make. And now, everyone's mileage varies. I would not be comfortable sending my young child to pre-school at this point (if I had one), whereas I wouldn't have thought twice about it before. People (everyone) are having to make different choices than they would have a year ago.

Have you seen how many women have been pushed out of the workforce this year either due to childcare, unemployment, or discrimination? We have a lot of problems to deal with for a lot of people.[/quote]

I don't understand how you can't see the hypocrisy in what you were just arguing.[/quote]

Point it out to me. [/quote]

sorry, no one has time to explain it like you're five. although i do look forward to your next comment which will say "that means it doesn't exist!" as though everything you can't understand isn't real.[/quote]
