Similarly, I have trouble believing that DCUM is up in arms that school, and school based closings present challenges for working parents, and is now advocating something that would be impossible for many families using group childcare or working from home while supervising to manage.

The costs of virtual days would be high.  To say that schools should do it because it might yield a tiny bit of learning, is absurd because it ignores those costs.

I have a kindergartner and both my husband and I have no telework options. During the past snowstorm, our work reopened Wednesday and our younger child's private day care reopened Tuesday. We were still snowed in Wednesday, but sent my kindergartner to the younger child's daycare Thursday and Friday and to school based care on Monday. If any of those days had been virtual, he would have mostly skipped it. The private day care I think would have tried to get him at least dialed in but no way would global have been able to get all the kids into virtual school.

I don't know. Maybe virtual is still the right answer with the understanding that younger kids will get little to nothing out of it. But I would be concerned that if virtual is an option, there would be even less push to reopen schools or use identified makeup days and that is going to hurt younger children.

Of course they'd slow roll reopening even more. Don't you remember the messages Taylor sent out? He didn't want to reopen after this last snowfall.

And you can forget about any compensatory services.[/quote]
