[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]how can you say you love the teachers and support them all throughout the year, but once adversity hits your school you quibble over a few hundred dollars to ensure they get paid? I understand if someone is in true financial distress, but if you are still working, how can you do that?[/quote]

A few hundred?! Try a few thousand. A few thousand that was already a stretch for us each month and that we can no longer pay because we are losing some of our income. Stop with the holier than thou preaching about how families are “quibbling” if we don’t go broke keeping other people employed. I feel awful about this situation, I do. But fixing this should not be put on the backs of working families, many of whom were already struggling to afford childcare in order to keep two parents in the workforce. [/quote]

Good luck getting a spot when you decide you want to pay.  I guess you will understand then.[/quote]
Yep. Fine not to pay if you're not getting the service, but then your slot hel--you'll be scrambling for care when you need it. And if I were the head of the school, I wouldn't be favoring those who abandoned ship when it's time to award spots. [/quote]

Oh please. Nobody will be “scrambling.” Literally everyone is working from home right now with their children. Sure, your slot may not be held if you don’t pay right now.But “scrambling” to find another provider? What does that look like, SINCE YOU ALREADY HAVE YOUR KIDS AT HOME WITH YOU? Worst case scenario it takes a a few weeks or even a month or so to find replacement care. But plenty of people would be in the same boat. It will take some time for the American workforce to get up to speed again. So

Seriously, think about what you’re saying. [/quote]
