Most teachers don’t struggle to get their laundry done. In the following link, the New York Times discusses a strategy becoming more common in New York and other areas, especially more poverty-stricken areas — washers and dryers to help students who don’t have easy access to laundry facilities. Homelessness and poverty have thrust schools into expanding roles that even include helping students clean their clothes so they can dress for school.

Since clean clothes can make all the difference in preventing bullying and boosting student attendance, it’s no surprise some schools have begun doubling as laundromats, providing fresh outfits and other sundries for students, such as tampons and pads.

What are those students doing now? How are they managing laundry and food?

Eduhonesty: An idea for districts that are remote right now — can you allow carefully scheduled, socially-distanced laundry for students? I assume you are already passing out the food the kids would have gotten had they been in school. Maybe offer to throw in feminine sundries as well? Some students may not have an easy way to get to the laundromat, and all those quarters may be a challenge too.

Your students would appreciate clean clothes.
