[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Going back to school in the fall will mean students have had a year and a half of doing whatever they wanted. I see it now with just a few kids in each classroom. I cannot imagine what fall will be like when they've been used to ruling the roost at home for so long. Every day, I have students tell me they don't want to do work or they don't feel like it. At home, they don't have to. Their parents don't make them. They do what they want when they want it.[/quote]

[b]Yeah, because their parents were working, for like the majority of the last 10 months that kids were virtually learning. Always the parents' fault though, right?[/b] [/quote]

Yeah, good try, but no.  The kids PP is referring to aren't the kids whose parents were working (which, over the course of the year, most kids' parents were).  They're the kids whose parents said "ohhh, you poor baby!  Those meanie teachers are making you do this fake computer school!  It's so stupid!  Don't worry.  You don't have to do it if you don't want to."[/quote]

Working and parenting are two separate issues.  If you are working, you need child care and help.  There were equity hubs for the low income, child care in the schools.  The county offers day care vouchers for younger kids.  If you choose not to pay for child care, especially if you can afford it but choose other nicer things instead, that's on you.  There is zero excuse not to monitor your child and check daily to make sure they attended class and the assignments were done and have them make up if they didn't.  If you cannot handle it, don't have more kids.[/quote]
