Mothers of America do not "have this all under control." It will not "all work out fine." We cannot "somehow make it work." The people in power are assuming you will pick up all the pieces of our shattered society with no help & without complaining too much. Truly, fuck this.
We are worried we'll be hurting our kids if we don't make online school work out. We are worried about losing our jobs or being bad employees if we can't do insane tasks while working for money. Let's stop pretending and start refusing.
Basically our non-existent public policy is that mothers will accommodate whatever we throw at them. Start refusing. Refuse insane school schedules. Organize strikes. Start planning marches. we are all extremely tired, but we can't do this until there's a vaccine.

my friends in cities a couple of weeks behind us in school starting are all now coming to terms with the hellscape of virtual school. The fact that the public policy answer for this is "every family for themselves" to make this work is deeply American and deeply unacceptable
