When all of this is “over” and we are back to some degree of “normal” (whatever those terms mean), this country needs to step back and rethink what is essential. One of the biggest mistakes, among many, was putting school teachers towards the bottom of the list of “essential” workers. Before this is over, an entire generation of kids, especially those with limited resources, will have lost 1.5 years of their education which will be hard to make up quickly. Having kids at home has also made it virtually impossible for many parents to return to work, once their workplaces had been deemed “safe”.
