[quote=Anonymous]This article is why we need schools to reopen on a typical schedule, and funds need to be made available to support this - for more space, PPE for teachers, etc.

All the PPs arguing about how men need to step up are missing the point. This problem is so pervasive, we need a systemic solution. In the same way that our response to Covid is a systemic solution - the federal Government is investing in research, hospitals are gearing up for the continued pandemic, pharma companies are investing $$, etc. No one is telling you that you are on your own if you get sick.

But that is what is going on with schools. Teachers accuse parents of being selfish because they are unable to balance a job with also supporting DL. Parents are terrified of losing their jobs while also worried about their child’s education.

Everyone is going to have to make changes. This is going to go on for a long time - a vaccine will be considered effective if it works 50% of the time — that is much better than now, but it is not going to be the panacea people are hoping for.
