There seems to be huge resentment on this site over the fact that kids being in school allows one of parents to get employment. No, it really does not mean the babysitting is the only or primary function and it is definitely not something bad.

And if quarantine changed anything, it is that I value school more then before. And I am not one of those people desperate to somehow making remote school and work function, thankfully we had no stressful deadlines during that time. But the kids still missed it and still learned better when in school then home alone.
