[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t think this is specific to 5th graders. It affected all kids of all ages, and all teachers and parents too which in turn affected the kids as well. My 3rd grader did virtual school for kindergarten and while he is doing fine now, a lot of his classmates are not—social and academic struggles that seem likely related to starting school virtually at such a critical time for social-emotional development that his cohort missed out on.

I think older kids were also very negatively affected, especially those in middle and high school during 2020-2021 school year…it affected us all.[/quote]
If your 3rd grader did virtual kindergarten, then they were held back at some point after that.  The current third grade was in pre-K for the virtual year and started in person kindergarten with masks and testing.  So not a normal start, but much better than virtual K.

My third grader is fine and her classmates seem fine.  I think kindergarten was a wild ride for her class, with so many kids basically coming out of isolation to start K and having missed preschool, but it's settled down. My kid doesn't even really remember the pandemic.  [/quote]
