Are they going to miss the freedom they have now?
They can wake up minutes before class start, they can use the bathroom with out permission, they don’t have to hide their phones or they talk to their fiends withtout getting in trouble ... feel free to add to the list |
I suspect when they return to school they'll be hungry all the time. That's always hard for them when they come back from the summertime because they can eat whenever they want. |
I teach Upper ES and they absolutely will. They will also hate that they are not with their friends. I can see some of my very small group staying home on e they see how much freedom they lost. |
I’m sure there will be things my kid will miss, but he needs to be back in classrooms and away from the distractions and comforts that are so tempting. |
My kid doesn't have the freedom to chat during class time. |
They aren’t with their friends at home. My 6th grader will be with three of his friends in person. |
What was that about kids being resilient? They’ll be fine. |
Oh they will for sure. And same for me. But they would not seriously choose distance learning just because they can run to the fridge whenever they want at home. |
I have a student that asks permission to go to the bathroom all the time, even when I've told him he doesn't need to. |
??? They aren't with friends at home. |
Well your 6th grader is lucky. That is not the case for all. |
I thought both of my kids would want to switch from hybrid to virtual when selections were reopened, but they were both adamant that they want to be back in school. Both middle schooler. |
Sounds like some shitty parenting going on there. |
Honestly, I think it depends on kid. If you have a kid who needs to move around a lot, the restrictions will be harder. |
Some kids might but some will not. My early ES kids do not sleep in, don’t have phones and don’t get in trouble at school. Actually my first grader doesn’t even have friends in class to get in trouble talking to because he has never met most of the kids in his class. |
