[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m a first grade mom. Fortunately my kid is doing great because we hired a pod teacher and allowed play dates for socialization. But from check ins with her teacher, I’m under the impression she is now way ahead of her peers. And there have been some class-wide emails about behavior issues the teacher is asking us to address at home and I’m so grateful my child isn’t involved, but I also feel horrible for the school staff dealing with this. This group of kids really was an after thought throughout the pandemic.[/quote]

You should feel bad for your child. Her class is probably a chaotic mess and she is probably bored to death.[/quote]

I do feel bad for her. For the other kids who are behind. For the teacher. I also have a lot of anger at society for deciding it was ok to sacrifice this age group to save by and large the elderly. We could have had kids masked and in school last year.[/quote]

Yes, so many of us parents of young elementary school students were screaming from the rooftops last year that the kids were not okay and no one cared at all. Instead we got a bunch of gaslighting emails from school administrators patting themselves on the back and claiming there was little to no learning loss. [/quote]

There was a pandemic.  The schools did the right thing.[/quote]

-1000. There was no medical or health justification for keeping schools closed for 18 months! It is clear now, and it will be even more glaringly obvious when this area’s policies are actually access and compared to other states (MA, RI?) and countries that kept their schools open. Mark my words, you all will sound like flat-earthers. I can see that the cover up is already beginning….[/quote]

My kids were in school every day for the 2020-2021 school year. Yes, it was a smaller school (80 kids per grade in elementary school) and yes of course they were all masked all the time except when eating or playing outside, but there were zero cases of on-campus transmission. ZERO. I can't believe that that was all due to the upgraded air filters and the ability to eat lunch outside. In multiple classrooms the desks weren't even six feet away - they were at least three but not all six. And these are elementary school kids - they're not perfect in mask wearing or staying apart. Also, the buses were running all year long. No, they weren't all filled to capacity all the time, but the kids didn't have entire rows to themselves with no one in front of or behind them. Personally, I think schools should have been open with masks and other measures to the extent possible and the transmission wouldn't have been much worse than it already was. But that's just my two cents using hindsight, which isn't fair. [/quote]
