That was the solution for my kid, at least. Thanks to Cuomo pushing schools to be part-time, the cost of childcare was only $50/month less than tuition to a private school where I am. Plus you factor in that they'll probably be 100% remote for half the year since class sizes are 35/room, and chances are that someone will test positive throughout the year.
My kid's private school class? 8.
Good luck finding child care at a moment's notice, public school kids' parents.
It depends on where you're at. Here in Eastern NC it's not too bad bc a lot of small businesses are getting really creative. My kid's karate dojo hired a retired teacher and another lady that stepped away from being a full-time teacher to raise her grandson after her daughter died. Both are really good people. The kids basically go to karate camp all day. The teachers are on site and make sure the kids are in their state mandated BS on time and complete their HW. They tutor the kids individually when they need help. You'd be surprised how effectively you can motivate a kid to get his work done when weapons training is on the line. My kid aced his first couple of tests, which was a small surprise (he has some developmental issues due to a brain surgery when he was a toddler). Frankly, I don't care if they ever go back, my kids are doing way way better without all the social BS of public school. The only thing I don't love is paying for the same product twice.
Our kids now attend a private Christian school. Private school was something we talked about before we even HAD kids, but we just assumed it was expensive and never pursued it.
Well, thanks to the ChynaVirus, we looked into it! Thanks, loony lefties! Thanks, democrats! Thanks, teachers' unions!
We'll spend a little bit more money (compared to full time care) to keep our kids from wearing masks all day, sitting at a desk surrounded by plexiglass. Fuck that.
We no longer need your bullshit policies and lowest-common-denominator teaching.
Private school.

Waiting for trump to hear these stories and introduce a federal school choice program giving tax cuts to people who don't use the public schools.
