[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some parents have to work.  Good for them to stay open.[/quote]

How is this any different than parents who work with school-aged kids? The result is the same. But we all know schools must close.[/quote]

Most elementary school kids can be left with little or no supervision.  Most infants to four year olds cannot.  It’s really not a hard difference to see.[/quote]

5 year olds can occupy themselves! Do you forget how hard the infant years were already? But yes, let me telework with my 10 month old. [/quote]

That’s my point.  Parents of school age kids should largely still be able to work.  It’s a lot harder for people with younger kids.[/quote]

You’re assuming everyone can work from home. Many people have elementary aged kids who cannot be home alone while they go to work. And trust me, as someone with 2 kids under 5 who will be teleworking, I understand how hard it will be to work with really young kids vs. kids 5+. [/quote]

I’m not assuming anything.  Of course not everyone can work from home, but many can, especially now.  And, even if you can’t work from home, your options to watch an elementary age kid (assuming they need watching) are much greater than a little kid.  A neighborhood kid can watch an 8 year old, but most 13 or 14 year olds couldn’t handle an infant or toddler.

Of course some people are going to have difficulties, but this is a matter of where the difficulties are greater/more common.[/quote]
