As a parent, I’m inclined to shrug and explain that yeah, the pandemic has been overwhelming and stressful. More to do than someone can get done and for not enough money.  We received no Grace as parents when we needed it. Only judgment and expectations we could help with virtual learning while working our own jobs so teachers could safely shelter when we could not.

There had to be a price to be paid for the last 18 months and this is it. A difficult transition and struggling kids which are behind.

I assume it will get better. I mean, I read tons of posts about all those kids who thrived in virtual learning and weren’t behind. Where are those kids now?

I am happy to send supportive emails and volunteer at the school for lunchtimes. I have a hard time mustering up empathy for how hard it is to deal with the kids. It was always the expectation. [/quote]

I can't speak for elementary school, but the high school kids who thrived in virtual learning were those who worked hard and continued to study instead of cheating. They're still thriving. The cheaters, not so much.

And keep your empathy if you wish. At the end of the day, teachers are doing their best to teach your kids and are under pressure to meet specific goals. If your kid doesn't cooperate,  they end up being forced to give them a bare pass and let them continuously fail upward--which, in a decade, will become a major problem for you.[/quote]
