Some places are more urban and more plowed out than others. Supermarkets and most retail near me is open. Somehow they have hourly wage workers to staff their stores and are willing to be there. My kid is at tae kwon do this afternoon, and the learning center near me seems to be open too. MCPS is hurting the hourly wage aftercare workers by not letting them work if certain schools are able to be opened.

SO you think MCPS should go, X school is clear, it can have daycare, ad Y school is clear so MS students there can go back, and then Z is not clear so that HS should have classes online, and A ES school and its neighborhoods are clear so those kids can go back to school.?

A single business opening vs a school district with 200+ schools, across four levels, that also has to be worried about transportation and kids/families walking, not to mention various ages of infrastructure. These are not the same things.

Are you insane? Even Sunday and Monday hospitals and doctors offices were open. Because the world doesn’t stop because it snows.

Even my kids’ tae kwon do and gymnastics studio were open and teaching today. Because those people don’t get paid unless they work unlike McPS staff.

Exactly. That's what I'm saying. Shut down the hospitals and clinics until they force MCPS to stop hating working parents.

How would that work? Do you think the world revolves around MCPS?

If you're a parent it does. It turns out, some parents are workers. I know that's a foreign concept to Taylor and the MoCo elite.

Working parents should call out. Shut things down. I'm sure the rich folks in Bethesda would love prepping for a colonoscopy only to have it cancelled at the last minute because they don't have the staff.

Things would change quickly.

How would you feel if all teachers went on strike until parents collectively managed to get their kids under control or do out of school assignments? Your jobs are not any more important than ours.

You're the one seeking special treatment. Other people are expected to work. But you claim you can't possibly be expected to shovel your car out.

Not the prior poster (my road still hasn't been plowed) but arguing that hospitals should go in strike because the mcps school administration won't open schools is crazy work.

How do you expect working parents to staff those hospitals if MCPS won't let child care open?

Our hospital has been closed. They aren’t sure about tomorrow.

Hospitals don’t close. That’s kind of the entire point of them.

Which hospital has closed? That’s really not a thing that they do…

Our next door neighbor is a doctor and had to be at an early shift on Monday morning when roads weren’t cleared much. He had to shovel his car away from snow berms on the road at points but he made it. I’m sure his patients were grateful.

I'm glad that parents know to use trusted people or licensed providers for their child care needs instead of random numbers posted anonymously on DCUM?

I'm sorry. Just trying to help people during a difficult time. Whatever. I'm getting paid and don't need childcare so I hope we are out the rest of the week if not longer

You aren’t helping others by using them as a talking point. We are not paid this week.

Yet instead of working or being with your kids you are here. Our appointments have been canceled.

DP.

I’m a teacher. It took 3 weeks of phone calls and emails to get all of my cancer-related appointments on the same day so that I would minimize how many sub days my kids had. The glee of a parent at the idea of anyone’s medical appointments being canceled is making me seriously think about how I bend over backwards in this job.

And what about the working parents staffing those medical offices? Screw them?

Ffs

Parents who work in healthcare accept that their job is essential and they might have to figure out transportation to work in terrible weather conditions. Health care workers often camp out at the hospital during a blizzard or hurricane.

Oh yes, I'm sure the receptionist or med tech at the clinic or surgery center is paid enough to hire a nanny so that MCPS closing child care doesn't screw them over.

Just fess up that you don't care about the working parents providing you services.

Parents are selfish. Take off time for your health.
