Posted in: Japanese mothers struggle to cope after virus shuts schools See in context
Are these all single mothers? If they have a partner they should be helping out too. My wife and I are going to take turns. They should not be bring them to work or other care facilities. The main point to closing the schools is to keep the kids at home to keep them safe. The parents work should allow the parents to take work paid time off to care for their kids. For single parents they should be allowed to stay and take care of their kids to home.
