[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"Ohh but we desperately need in person schooling."

We don't. The pandemic changed kids. They do NOT want to be at school. They will do anything to get out of it. We need to fix education and how we deliver it. It's 2024-what worked in the 1900s isn't working now. Clearly. [/quote]

You are weirdly conflating things.

If anything the pandemic proved kids NEED to be in school because being out of school significantly harmed them mentally, emotionally and developmentally.

This kid who popped up with a knife at Kennedy is a troubled student, likely from a poor family background and likely a longtime problem child for the system who fell through the cracks. Also he is clearly greatly influenced by rap culture and social media. Those things, which exert incredible influence over kids, have nothing to do with schools.

I agree we need to fix our system, but most kids DO want to be in school and the data proves how harmful being away from school was for them. We also have a lot of societal failures to address, especially with regard to mental health services and efficacy of child wellbeing agencies like CPS.[/quote]
