Student desks, small tables, chairs and other furniture are selling out, just when frantic parents need them the most for children attending school remotely from home.

Can we safely celebrate Halloween this year, in the midst of a pandemic? Gatherings aren’t safe, and do you really want your children knocking at doors, begging for candy and grabbing from the same bowl? Americans stuck at home have plenty of time to come up with some creative — and safe — solutions.On the flip side, Steck said, this would be a great time to declutter, sell or give away those extra items, old tables, desks, shelves, bins and art supplies to families that may need them.

Danielle Van Divort, Long Beach middle school teacher and a parent of teens, said she has seen firsthand the disparity of the spaces and tools available, or not available, to students. For students without desks, Van Divort said, she has seen tri-fold cardboard presentation boards cleverly used to create privacy and divided workspaces on tables shared with siblings. Some have repurposed the boards as backdrops to screen the rest of the room from the web camera. “You can buy those at the 99 cent store,” said Van Divort. Decorating the boards is optional.

“Just remember,” said Steck, “your home isn’t going to look like a classroom, and it doesn’t have to. You don’t need that for your kids to learn and thrive at home. We’re all just trying our best.”

Build your own dumb fucx

First world problems. There are kids that can’t even afford to go to school.

If possible it would be psychologically smart to bring the child’s desk from school to the home. That would make it seem much more familiar… Psychologically perhaps. Parents can sign for the rental use of the school desk. Free rental of course

If you are a dad, build one. Buying one is some cuck sh*t. If your a mom, learn to build one. Women are just as capable at building things. It will cost half the money and it will be better.

What? This is beyond stupid, making parents feel like that have to have some sort of magical desk that will ensure their children's future. Stop with this bullshit, for the love of God.

Free at schools.
