To ask a parent — particularly one trying to parent alone — to work full time while supervising education and daytime meals is a formula for stress and unreasonable expectations.
Parent and teacher Stacey Pugh poses for a photograph outside her home Monday, July 13, 2020, in Humble, Texas. While children have proven to be less susceptible to the coronavirus, teachers are vulnerable. “I will be wearing a mask, a face shield, possibly gloves, and I’m even considering getting some type of body covering to wear,” says Pugh, a fifth-grade teacher in suburban Houston.
At 50, and with underlying health conditions, Brinson says she is “terrified” of contracting COVID-19. She is worried that if her son goes back to school, he could bring the virus home to her. “If I’m dead or on a ventilator," she says,"what good am I to him?” That’s where the conflict lies. Before the virus, Brinson says, she “went into work every single day, and my son went to school and he had aftercare with the YMCA." Brinson was totally unprepared when schools closed in March. She ended up taking several days off until she received permission to work from home. Now her employer is pressuring her to come back in.
