[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NYC teacher again-I'll also add that we are going back to "blended" learning, where kids will be at school between one and three days a week (not four or five days). They will be remote the rest of the time. At some schools the day(s) they are going in are not consistent, so good luck finding childcare on that schedule. The kids have to sit at their desks from 8:30-2, eating lunch in their seat while we continue to teach (I guess to prevent the kids from trying to talk to each other). They can't share materials. There is no recess. [/quote]

One of the biggest concerns I’ve heard from folks (families and teachers) is the childcare gaps associated with the hybrid schedule.  My friend and her DH are both teachers and their 2nd grader is returning to their previous in home daycare for the other three days.  Maybe it will all work out fine but she was like, if we have to do this other families are too, if they can even find such an option. In a lot of cases it may be grandparents filling the gap.[/quote]

True but it is better than DL which is zero childcare (yes, I know, school isn't childcare -- whatever, the place where my children will be under supervision while I am working).[/quote]
