Since @scottalanmiller mentions Chromebooks a lot - A friend bought 2 Dell laptops with Win 10 and called me because she couldn't install anything on them. The disk was "full" and no free space. They were "refurbished" as I later found out. I think someone imaged with with W 10 instead of ChromeOS. They have been sitting on a shelf for about a year.

LOL, what?

Yep. Next time I go there I am going to get the model number and specs.

yet another COVID Curveball - which I agree with even if it screws me completely over ;
Public Schools are 100% remote learning- My son's district will more than likely follow suit and go remote only as well.

Which screws me cause I dont have a a daycare to that extent that will also teach him the things he needs to know

But he's still doing school, right? In theory there should be online education, just done from the daycare instead of from home? Or will it just be missed?

When you say Daycare, how old would your son be? Pre-K?

He'll be able to do online remote classes - But I dont have a daycare once he starts school..

My wife is a teacher and we are in a similar boat. Mine are older but still need someone home to make sure they are productive. I am fortunate to work for a company that allows me to work from home. Does your place of employment have this capability?

They let me in the past, but it doesn't look like they will allow that again - They only did because we were so much slower at the time.

You could bring the little one up to your work with a Chrome book. It may or may not help them decide. Either way they will have forced your hand. You gave them the most reasonable solution, so the ball is in their court. If they do not like the current situation they can come up with a different one.

I do realize this may not be feasible, I am telling you exactly what i would "like" to do in your situation.
