[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People need to start looking for a nanny/au pair/ Or small co-op supplemental homeschool groups.  Or one parent takes a couple years off.  If you need to downsize to afford it I would start looking now.  Was never a good idea to be double income house poor.  The kids from parents on this board will be fine, maybe they will even learn more.  I hope schools use this as an opportunity to buy out/early retire lots of burnt out and underperforming teachers.

Another "people just need to be prepared to pay money they don't have for childcare!" poster on DCUM.

This MCPS parent's kids are *not* fine.

Kids need school. That's fundamental.[/quote]

Not in the narrow way you define it.

Kids need an education. It needn’t be traditional schooling. And in times of pandemic, all bets are off and they will likely be the most resilient and likely to bounce back.

No. Kids need to be[u][b] IN SCHOOL[/b][/u].

People say "kids are resilient" when they really mean "we're unjustifiably putting a huge burden on kids, so we will tell ourselves things that aren't true, to make ourselves feel better about it".[/quote]

Absolutely agree. Sure kids are resilient. I could 100% get on board with that when it was 3 months of missed school. I'm sorry, but the prospect of starting again in the fall with a DL model is just too much. It's too much lost time and will be detrimental for our kids. [/quote]
