[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We also have very low rates but no one is allowed to go back, due to a combination of a laissez-faire, beholden-to-interest-groups governor and a very strong and hysterical teacher's union (we are in the PNW).  So bars, gyms, indoor dining, and childcare are open, but schools (including private schools), playgrounds, athletic fields, and outdoor swimming pools are not.  It is maddening.   No one has the children's best interest first.

Fellow PNWer here. The situation is ridiculous. We have a packed brewery down the block from us but my child’s huge campus can’t open. It pains me that Gymnastics gyms and indoor soccer places are going to host all-day virtual school supervision, but our private school says it is too risky, legally, to open. Worse yet, my kid is at a preschool-8th grade school. The preschool classes actually can and will meet in-person because they are technically classified as a daycare due to mandatory accreditation. So preschool families who are paying 1/3rd the tuition of Kindergarten-8th grade families will get to have in-person school and childcare, but I have to sit next to my kid for hours of daily Zooms and pay for childcare at home. And our contracts were due in February, so we didn’t exactly make an informed choice. [/quote]
