[quote=Anonymous]I think you guys are overreacting big time.  These are two outlier stories that do not reflect the reality that is going on in my child's school now, for sure.  For example, my kid is in middle school and while she fell below the state test for math last year (just missed it) during the hybrid teaching, she has caught up again this year.  Teachers are working hard to get kids caught up in my kid's other classes like history and english as well (my kid was not behind there).  I'm sure some kids are having worse experiences, but the kids at my daughter's school do not seem to be having significant, lasting problems caused by the pandemic.

Listening to everyone complain about kid's mental health in here citing kids voluntarily wearing masks as "evidence" (wut?) reminds me of the criticism that pro-maskers get when they cite studies about how covid damages the human brain and causes diabetes and strokes in higher numbers and has yet unforseen other consequences.  You guys sound a little wacko.  Maybe try to calm down and be a calming, stable presence for your kids.  This is not the way forward.[/quote]
