We want to go back safely.

The website we were given to sign up fir a vaccine crashed... it still isn’t back up. Because as soon as we were told there was a way to get back into classrooms safely, we overwhelmed the system.

We want to go back. We just want it safe for us and the kids.

I agree. We’re getting a vaccine, and this will be over with, but some of my neighbors, with their stupid signs and vitriol- it’ll be a while before I can get over it.

And then- the stuff they’ve taught their kids. Their teachers are keeping the building closed, they’re lazy, they’ve abandoned them. It’s gross.

Yes, the relationship between parents and teachers will be changed after this. Less trust, less goodwill.

This 100%. It's very clear how little parents think of teachers.

And what teachers think of parents - they hate their kids, don't know how to parent, just want free childcare... (I realize this is just the few posters on here, not all teachers).

Exactly. My son graduated in June 2020 and he has gone into the military. I loved having him home for those early pandemic months and I would give anything to have him here with me now.

So your son was already a fully-educated adult and coasting in March 2020. Think how you would have felt if he was in first grade and lost 1.5 years of school, or had autism or learning disabilities and lost years of hard fought progress...Why is empathy so hard for people?

I would have worked with it. I've always loved spending time with my children. I'm a parent first. And he was a sped student btw.

Too bad there wasn't a pandemic 12 years ago to have improved your quality of life.

We are working with it but it probably wouldn’t have been ideal for you either if you were in a dual working parent household with a non-reading kindergartner doing virtual learning.

That’s what you think but I don’t think it’s true if you had to work and they were in K and you couldn’t supervise virtual learning.

People who want schools to reopen aren't whining and complaining about having more time with their kids, and that should be obvious. They are concerned about the detrimental effects of distance learning ON THEIR KIDS.

I love having extra time with my kids and my kids are enjoying the extra family time. That 100% doesn't change my stance that my first grader especially needs in-person learning, and it would be better for my third grader. I mean that even if concurrent looks like DL-in-a-classroom.

I noticed you didn't deny it. Find something more productive to do with your time rather than pretending you have any clue what we are dealing with.

Yeah, I WFH and have a first grader right outside the door. I see/hear the completely crappy education he's getting (not the teacher's fault...it's DL's fault) that he's not even paying attention to. When we go back next school year, he'll have to re-learn how to be a classroom student (what he originally learned in Kindergarten).

Yeah. Classroom behavior, especially ES, is going to be atrocious when they go back. Good luck ES teachers!

Yeah, sorry, I don’t buy it. Kids are resilient and their brains are plastic. Also, you protest a bit too much — your use of the word “detrimental” and “on kids” in all caps seem like you are parroting a talking point you read in “Psychology Today.” I see a very valiant attempt to seem noble and unselfish — too valiant to be sincere.
