[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The criticism of covid school closure on this thread is a breath of fresh air. Where were all of you when every other comment was "school isn't childcare!" when working parents were saying they were at their breaking point? [/quote] I was advocating for school reopening but my suspicion is that a lot of people who were mad about closures and didn't say anything were dealing with two factors: 1) Parents, teachers, and admin within their school community who were arguing closures were necessary to protect vulnerable kids and families -- it's very hard to speak up when the argument is "you are trying to get poor people of color killed" 2) They were so burned out from overseeing remote education while trying to hold down a job and solve an impossible childcare problem that they had nothing left to advocate for school reopening.[/quote]
