I'm thinking they may not be allowed to have indoor dining. Phases may go back.

Just because teachers CAN use zoom doesn't mean it's an effective way of teaching.

I've had meetings over zoom the past 7 months that would have been much better to have in person. We make due where we can, but teaching the youth of america via zoom at this point (and for who knows how much longer) is not good.

there should not be indoor dining if our kids can't be taught in the classroom. Period.

This isnt the 50s where we hand johnny his baseball glove and out the door he goes to walk to the park.

I'm not backpedaling on anything. I stand by all of my comments. I said SOME parents.

I just wonder why you think ANY parent is lazy for wanting their child to be in school? lol.

I think lazy parents are the ones who drop their kids off to a babysitter so they can go out clubbing or heck lay in bed. Wanting your kids in school so you can get your own job done to pay the bills ain't lazy. Or even if a parent doesnt have a job are they really lazy for wanting their kids in school?

A friend of mine does not work, she wants her kid in school. Is she lazy?

You're very judgemental. Some women (and men) don't work and still put their kids in daycare of hire a nanny. Are they lazy?

In a way I'm getting a break from getting up early and dropping what I'm doing to take them to the rink. Do you think I shoo my 4 and 6 yr old out of the house and they get to the rink themselves? Wake up.

In your case, it seems your husband does.

4 year old girls play hockey?

[msRB311]

Yeah he does the majority of my son's homework with him. Period. My job has been more demanding than my husbands this past fall.
