…Which doesn’t have the same ring to it when it effectively means I start the new unpaid job tomorrow! Then again, we enjoy the nigh-obscene luxury of having parents home to minimize the situation; I was a stay-at-home already and my wife is still telecommuting. Based on the emails and messages coming out from the schools, there are a lot of kids in this county who will not have anybody to help them this semester with, well, pretty much everything.
I don’t think this is entirely fair to them, but I don’t really know what I can do about it, either.
If only it were possible to gather all of the children together for group instruction, so that all receive an equal amount of attention from their instructors ( for variable and localized definitions of equal). We could even build dedicated structures for that purpose.
