"Complaints on the internal social-media platform included those from workers who said they decided to home-school their children and take care of elderly relatives based on the assumption they could keep working from home."
No horse in this race: Can you actually adequately home school a child and also adequately work from home?
- forgotusername6 3y agoAbsolutely not. No way. From my brief experience of having my kids at home during lockdown, it is just not possible to do both well at the same time.
- mjevans 3y agoI am not an expert, this is all just my opinion based on personal observations of family and friends and coworkers. If the child is old enough to 'self study' as long as the adult is in the same building for legal reasons? Seems plausible. For younger children, generally our society is insane and has it's values system maladjusted in favor of having useless worker drones rather than high quality citizens for the future. However ignore the HOME-schooling part. Maybe their kids are in private or public school and the parent works during that time, answers emails for a couple hours on either side, but has flex time. THAT seems to be what's more commonly actually done.
