[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lest you think this is all about federal workers, I have a friend with three children who does not pay for childcare for any of them, including the toddler, because she works from home AND SHE'S NOT A GOVERMENT WORKER. No day care, no extended day, no summer camps, no day off camps.  She thinks all of those are "a rip off."  I have no idea how she gets away with all of this at work.  How does she get anything done?  It would never fly in my office, which is a government office.  I get so tired of hearing people complain about the government workers not having childcare when it's far from unique to government.[/quote]

Wow. If you don’t understand the difference between what a private company can and can’t do and what the federal government should and shouldn’t do please get off my payroll. [/quote]

It is not ethical for any worker collecting a FT paycheck to not have FT childcare for their ES-age children.  My comments were not specific to Feds. It’s only after last week that the Board is full of Fed parents panicking about what to do with their children after school, which should be a non-issue from 8-6 if you are currently a FT worker. This issue is not specific to WFH Fed parents. Many WFH parents are also double dipping.  [/quote]

You still don’t understand that making parent come in removes 2 hours from their days and requires 2 extra hours of childcare.  [/quote]

Which is why I specifically said that the hours between 8-6 should be a non-issue for any parent who is currently working from home. I am responding specifically to all of the parents who are complaining about summer and what to do after the bus drops their kid off at 3:30. They should already have that covered if they are truly working FT from home. Obviously long commutes, which will now take a parent outside of the normal hours of 8-6 daycare/aftercare coverage are another issue entirely.

Parents have been working at home 7-3:30.  Most agencies have core hours and flexible start stop.  I work at home from 7:30 to 4 and have a middle schooler.   I don’t feel comfortable leaving them alone in the AM, and after school homework help ends at four.  They’ll come home to an empty house every day, instead of a parent.  It sucks. [/quote]

Gee, I wonder what parents of middle schoolers do if they can’t log off at 4pm.[/quote]
