What is everyone's level of comfort with their kids going back to school in the fall? Why do we think it is okay for kids to go back to in person school with minimal precautions when offices, colleges, etc. are remote? I get that children are maybe less impacted but they can be carriers and pass on to parents.

True that

Not very comfortable but not going also has a host of problems. Homeschooling is perhaps an option if SO can teach but for 2 working parents (and single parents) not many other options.

Even 1 working parents has problems to take care of 2 kids imo.

It’s all about balancing values and priorities. What do you lose by continuing remote work? I’d argue not that much. What do you lose by remote school? I’d argue a lot.

Virtual School for them as long as I am working from home. If I can help make millions for my firm remotely, so can my kids get a good virtual education.

FWIW, my kid is in 1st grade and I am completely okay if other feel differently about this decision. I am being selfish about this situation.

Also if I have 1 kid go to school and another kid being watched by a nanny how do I reassure the nanny

Boston here...one going back to daycare and another starting K...the past 4 months have been difficult on the kids, despite dangers that exist with Covid, I’m hopeful that schools will do as much as they can to keep all safe and think they need to get back to some semblance of normalcy.

In Atlanta- one year old and five year old. Both the spouses are working but I am not sending them to school. Homeschooling or virtual schooling. It has been a tough time and both of us are in survival mode but I am scared of the other option.

I’m comfortable with it in Omaha. Our private school just announced we’re planning full time return to school after a dramatic response to their parent survey. We would pull our kids out and home school instead of doing the every other week/partial week options they were considering.

Homeschooling all the way. Forget these things that are morphing into concentration camps. Can you imagine the fear that will be instilled and reinforced into these kids as they follow these new guidelines? No way is that becoming part of my kid’s identity.

What are your strategies for completing work efficiently? How do you figure out how long projects should take? A consistent piece of feedback on my yearly reviews has been that I over-bill & spend too much time on assignments. It’s something I actively work on, but I still have no concrete sense of how long I should spend on basic tasks (e.g., drafting a motion to dismiss). My firm is right to expect that I manage my time better as a mid-level associate. WFH has made my time management worse.
