They joked around about parents wanting school back as a babysitting service. I don't think this is particularly far off or offensive. School is a place for children to get an education, but many parents are clearly just trying to keep the kid alive and themselves sane. It's a babysitting service to them, and the education is a bonus. It's not always the case, but often when parents really care about education, the child will reflect that behavior; and there's a lot of kids who couldn't care less. Having heard my friends talk about schools opening up, not a single one of them has talked about how much better teachers are at teaching than they were. Or how much their child really needed to be one of 30 heads instead of getting special attention. They talk about how nice it is to have alone time.
