Good article. But i'm not sure if she advocating all students need to return to school full time or we should close down all businesses - in an effort of fairness - until the pandemic passes?
I don't think the author has any answers. Rather she's calling out the jarring dilemma parents face.

If you ask me, I don't think there's any good answers, because we want and need both--education of the children and the efforts of the adults.

I do have to wonder how many parents have simply been confronting over the last few months how much of their children’s upbringing is typically someone else’s responsibility, now that it is theirs again. Raising kids is hard work, but it’s rewarding right?

Are working class people with children but without college degrees or nice jobs writing in places like the NYT having this problem, or has it always been this hard for them?
