I mean, I agree with everything you say here, but I'm not sure it relates to my post all that much.

You're right in everything you say, but my question was what we expect working or single parents to do about it right now at a desperate time during a pandemic. The issue brought up by this thread is that parents--let's face it, mothers--are being shamed by people for their dismay over school closures. To rebut that with "yes but teachers aren't valued enough" doesn't really address it at all in this moment. It doesn't help the parents or the teachers.

The real issue is that neither mothers nor teachers are valued enough by society, and that's probably rooted in the devaluation of women. And we shouldn't all be behind teachers when they demand better conditions and pay. But this thread is about people shitting on moms because they have to scramble to find alternative arrangements in a situation where that's nearly impossible, and the immediate, achievable-by-regular-people solution to that is just to recognize that the situation they're in IS difficult to navigate and that stress over it is valid. That's what's missing in most of those threads. That's basically all OP appears to be asking for.
