[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Mine graduated in 2020 and no. Their school year always ended in May so there were only 8 weeks left in the school year when things shut down. Prom was cancelled and graduation was held in batches that August. They seem fine to me. 2020 kids were also in a good spot to take a gap year without missing out on much if they desired to.

I think it was harder on 2021 kids. [/quote]

The 2020 kids missed their first year of college, which I think is worse than missing the last year of high school.[/quote]

I agree with this. My 2020 graduate spent their entire freshman year in their dorm room doing online classes. Even though they are doing well and are on track to graduate in 2024, there are some things that they won't recover. Meeting tons of people, joining clubs, study groups, hanging out with people on the quad on a sunny day. The COVID restrictions (which I believe were warranted) prohibited almost all socializing. To this day, my junior has a very small group of friends and doesn't think that highly of their college experience.[/quote]
