everyday will be bring your kid to work day....and for those without internet access...buy them books...dictionaries and an encyclopedia set...old school...or park them at the library while you're at work if they are old enough...plenty of alcoholic parents do that when they open the pub at 9am anyway.
what about second and third and fourth etc. kids ? is this what the texas lt. governor meant about grand parents being ready to sacrifice themselves for the good of the economy?
I think you replied to the wrong post, but schools can provide laptops to families in need...they are already doing so now with students at home. For those without internet access, pps parks wifi enabled buses in low income neighborhoods and works with comcast to provide $10 internet for low income families, so their kids can do school work/school related activities at home.
Sounds good but then you also have to take into account lower income households. These households generally are working past the time school closes. They don't have internet, nor the ability to stay home 3/4 days a week to babysit their child. As they rely on the school, as well as after school programs until they can pick their children up. Then you also have to factor in the additional cost of feeding their child breakfast/lunch which in lower income areas is provided by schools free of charge. At the end of the day when schools do start back up. Considering what kind of petri dishes children are. There is going to be infections, there is going to be serious cases and very likely deaths. Nothing will stop it, not even a vaccine. But it won't just be in children, it'll be in adults who are responsible for children.
