    I got it from the article. It's in there as a generalization, he just doesn't make what he was doing there the story.

    Raising children is more than a full-time job. Our current economic system makes a two-income household functionally necessary. People who want their kids to go back to school aren't being assholes who just don't wanna be around their kids. They're asking for help because they're being asked to do work far above and beyond what is reasonable to ask of them. Usually it's women who bear the brunt of this.

    That is a very good point.

    There is a ton of nuance in this.

    How hard have families tried to create learning pods?

    How well is the teacher working online school so the parent is not doing the teacher’s job of teaching?

    How many parents are realizing their secondary student, who should be able to work on their own, is a complete fuck up who can barely wipe their own ass on their own?

    How many parents think in-person school right now is all butterflies and lollipops?

    There are so many factors.

    You know why? Because it's better for their kids if the kids are out of the house.

    Spartan...I don’t think you made a ridiculous point at all. That’s why it wasn’t useful.

    Teachers aren't baby sitters, and schools aren't dumping grounds for your spawn.
    Don't want the responsibility of raising your kid? Can't financially handle it? Then don't have kids.

    It's absolutely better for kids' education to be under the daily guidance of trained professionals, but it's no good for anyone if it's a powder keg for everyone. I caught COVID at school from a student. We currently have more than 10% of our faculty out either positive or quarantined because they've been exposed.
