She made a mistake I think and she should clarify and apologize but it isn't the end of the world. The truth is, she doesn't really know how 2 income families are going to make things work -- or are making things work -- with schools closed, because lots of them have had to quit their jobs.

She doesn’t even acknowledge that families who don’t have a stay at home parent are the majority. The fact is that families without a stay at home parent are really, really struggling right now. She doesn’t seem to get that, let alone care. That’s a problem for someone in her position. Distance learning cannot work without parental engagement, so she needs to figure out how to improve that, which means understanding what parents are up against. The schools can’t just decree how they want to it to go and expect parents to fall in line.

Word of advice -- get with the times.

Zillions of kids in Maryland being raised by their grandparents. Someone is not living in the 21st century!
