[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]this thread seems to be overrun with trolls and/or bots... who says parents want to fleece their employers?

its terrible to be part-way through the school year and have to scramble to find extra care because now one or both working parents needs to work from an office.

i feel for all the working families out there trying to scramble midway through the year to re arrange their schedules and/or find care.

Guess what happened during the 2020-2021 school year. Schools randomly closed with little to no notice. They called off hybrid sometimes with a fews hours notice. Guess what parents who work outside the home did. They figured it out. They had backups. They paid for care knowing it was best to have it when it was needed.[/quote]

Yeah, and there were horrible negative repercussions to kids.  Is that what you are supporting?[/quote].

Karen, we are talking about working in an office.

Are you suggesting schools are childcare because the teachers will come for you.[/quote]

thing is, under capitalism, schools ARE child care as well as a place to learn.

this whole thread basically backs up that point.

if you are a parent and you work you also need child care! if your child is school age, they cannot go to daycares anymore (which typically are open more hours), so many school age children of working parents need before and/or aftercare at the school. i am not advocating that the teachers provide the before/after care service, to be clear.

capitalism is here, prices are not getting any cheaper, and increasingly both parents need to work to survive in this economy.

i am an advocate of year round school, more care options for elementary/middle kids, bc working parents need these flexible care options if we are being called to the office 5 days a week, 8 hrs a day, plus commute. my job doesnt stop bc of the school year and i wish the school system would catch up with the times. we need more kids to ensure our future and parents need care for their kids so they can work and contribute to the economy and their communities.
