[quote=Anonymous]The answer is simple yet it continues to be discussed ad nauseum. Distance learning has created an enormous disruption for working families, making it nearly impossible for many parents to meet the demands of their jobs while managing distance learning. Many families are struggling to figure out how to manage it and there are no good choices and people are under tremendous pressure. There are a group of parents who cannot understand this for a variety of reasons:

-They were stay at home parents (mostly mothers) before the pandemic
-They were able to become stay at home parents (mostly mothers) after the pandemic
-They have BS jobs where they don't have to think or produce anything and can pull the wool over their bosses eyes by checking email every so often
-They refuse to accept any risk at all with covid and would rather accept the shitty outcomes of distance learning or reduction income

Because of the bubble of privilege in which they are living, it is very difficult for them to understand why other families want schools open for in-person learning. Hence resorting to the tiring "schools aren't child care" and other sanctimonious accusations frequently hurled in this forum.[/quote]
