Parents are the foot soldiers, the grunts slogging through the day-to-day guard duty, maintaining morale, requisitioning supplies, containing skirmishes. Parents are stationed at home, many tele-working while being charged with keeping their kids safe, fed and occupied while pulling extra duty as teachers, recreation therapists and jailers.
