[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do they NEED to be in school? No.

Are they in much better shape, intellectually and emotionally, when they are in school? Yes.

We are a very ordinary family ... no significant learning needs, both parents worked from home during the shutdown. The kids handled it OK. However, their situations ranged from almost no work for one child to complete, uncoordinated chaos for another child ... the teachers just piled busywork on top of busywork. It SUCKED. They all seemed pretty depressed and unmotivated.

I've always supported teachers, but their willingness to just give up and NOT TEACH right now is working my nerves. They don't want to go back ... but they're also not promising they will do any better than they did from March to June. [/quote]

Same. Why do teachers seem to think they are somehow the martyrs of the pandemic? A lot of ppl have been working this WHOLE TIME. Including gin person with jobs just as risky. Some for way less pay. If you don’t want to go into the classroom then you are faced with the same dilemma as a million other ppl who have had to either chose to take that risk, or quit their jobs.

Distance learning wasn’t learning. I’m a democrat but it’s sad how all thoughts of equity for kids in education and women’s movement just all got thrown out of the window. [/quote]
