Oh my, and out here there were Catholic schools that opened (the building
) back in January or even earlier. I don't know if people from other denominations can join, and there is a cost to private schools, so lower income people are at a disadvantage.

working parents need a place for their kids to go everyday so that they can get their shit done.

Whether school was indented to be just for learning or not, functionally, it's still a place to keep the kids at. There hasn't been an extended period of time when kids have been out of school before, besides natural disasters limited to specific areas. COVID brought out the problem of childcare during a pandemic/emergency/lockdown/ect.

So there's no option to go and yell at them at local school board meetings?
