[quote=Anonymous]I think anyone who paints this as “parents want free childcare” or “teachers are lazy” are pretty simple minded.  Yes, it’s more likely that families with ES children will have childcare issues, especially in this area where there are so many dual-income households.  But at our daycare, fewer than half of families have returned.  And I know plenty of families with MS/HS students who are really fretting, either because they’re at a critical transition year or for whom distance learning just wasn’t working in the spring. They’re grumbling about having to find tutors or asking their kids to drop to easier classes if they can’t afford the tutors or feel they can personally help.

While there are many teachers concerned about safety, many I know want to return, but are frustrated with the process and lack of transparency.  Also varies by how DL went in the spring.  The one I know that is most vocal about wanting to go back is an ES reading specialist- these are kids who need extra help already for one reason or another, and she felt that DL really failed for those kids in particular.[/quote]
