Pres. Trump is pushing for businesses to reopen and for workers to get back on the job. But there is no plan right now from the Trump administration to help working parents while schools and many day care centers are closed.
"I think a lot of it reflects this long-standing notion in our country that family matters are a private affair and that you just need to figure it all out. 'I don't want to hear about it. Go do that. And then just get to work on time,'" she told ABC News.
"Our childcare system -- and I say that very lightly -- it's really not a system. It's very fragile. It's kind of patched together. It's very difficult to find quality care -- difficult to afford. And this pandemic has just really pushed it to the edge," said Schulte. "My company is currently planning to reopen our office at the end of May. But there are several of us with younger school-aged children and they haven't said anything. They just haven't addressed that point yet," Johnson said.
With the current school year winding down, administrators and educators are already deep into planning for the fall and looking at how and when students can safely get back into the classroom.This was a big topic last week on Capitol Hill when Republican and Democratic senators pressed Dr. Anthony Fauci on when schools could reopen. The director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases tried to temper expectations.
