[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The behavior. OMG the behavior. Older kids have been running their own show while parents have had to work. Now that they’re back in school, they don’t want to be told when to eat (unmasking issues), to stay by their desks (social distancing), to interact with students they don’t like, or to complete the work they don’t like doing. I’m also seeing a lot of anxiety in kids. I’m empathetic to the transition back to school feeling hard. I’d love to be at home wearing yoga pants, muting students, and taking food and bathroom breaks more easily. But that wasn’t best for most of my students. We all have to re-learn how to work well with others without letting anxiety, dislike, or opposition sour those interactions.

[b]The younger kids (up to grade 3) have never had a full year of elementary school. [/b]They can’t sustain attention, and their academic skills are lacking. We know how to close skill gaps and how to modify assignments to make them accessible to students who need more support. And, it’s still true that this is an overwhelming amount of work to do when so many students are this far behind.[/quote]

Last year (20-21), they were 2nd graders. The year before (19-20), they were 1st graders. Did they ALL skip K?[/quote]
