[quote=Anonymous][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.

I would rather cancel it altogether, layoff extra school personnel, and save the tax dollars. At least then, we would stop pretending kids get education with DL. And lack of education is only part of the problem. How about mental health of kids? New York laid off significant number of school personnel. This party cannot go on forever for you.[/quote]

Oh if that were to happen -- cancel school and not pay teachers -- all of these alleged "high risk" teachers, or ones claiming high risk family members, will very suddenly change their tune.

[b]Any teachers who don't feel they can return can take a leave of absence.[/b]  Hire some new young energetic low-risk teachers to replace them.[/quote]

That is not how MCPS leave works. Petition the BOE to liberalize leave if that’s what you want the district to be able to offer teachers.[/quote]
