[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]God I'm so depressed by this.

My kid and I literally cannot afford another year of distance learning, or just in-and-out of school.  I can't do it financially.  My office will start making me go in come September and there's no way I can stay home for 10 days repeatedly throughout the school year.  There won't be any "learning camps" for exposed kids -- we are all just going to have to be home.  I'll lose my job.  I don't know what to do.[/quote]

Yeah, I don’t know how they think working parents of younger kids will handle such frequent disruptions. I’m assuming there will be lots of kids left alone at home or “quarantining” with their grandparents.

And yes, kids themselves don’t deserve another disrupted school year.[/quote]

If I had a 3 or 4 year old I would probably pay for daycare for another two years to avoid this nonsense.  There are already complaints about a worker shortage and this will lead more people to quit or lose their jobs (and let’s be clear by ‘people’ I mean ‘women’.). If this is truly the policy DC has to pass some paid leave and job protection for parents specifically in this situation.[/quote]
