To try to wreck the national economy.

we are entering july, and things are going into lockdown


your kids are NOT going to school this year, your going to have to hire a baby sitter and make adjustments.


its better for me, I get to work faster, and get home faster, but this decade is looking to be a nightmare for those with younger kids who need supervisor or special needs care.

Don't worry Cuomo will provide all of that.

Something that at least some of our friends who are teachers are concerned with is that if teaching remotely works then their services won’t be needed in the same way. School districts could get a teacher who is an excellent presenter, video them and then use that presentation over and over.
I’m sure teachers will still have a role but it could be different than it is today.

It was announced that NJ and CT schools are going to reopen in the fall.

Remote learning doesn't work, like, at all. It's completely unnatural and the more needs a kid has, particularly special needs, the less it works. That's not even factoring in socialization, activities other than following the common core worksheets, and the fact that most parents are two-income earners and depend on kids being in school most of the day.

I wonder why we need 2-income earners... what is the majority of our mandatory costs?
