[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’d be happy to sacrifice another month of in-person school to avoid the risk of long-lasting Covid complications (not to mention the risk of life-threatening short term problems). [/quote]

People overlook the fact that young people can make up educational deficits, especially when parents have the means to call on all kinds of outside tutoring and support.  Money is better spent there than on chronic medical conditions that change a child's life forever.[/quote]

We have a mental health epidemic among kids and teens in this country, and a main factor is the senseless school closures over the last 20 months.

Many adults should be fired.[/quote]

Get your kid mental health help then! (Said earnestly!) [/quote]

This is a glib response. As someone who has tried to navigate getting mental health services for the past year and a half, it is not as simple as "get your kid mental health help!"  Providers are completely overwhelmed. Wait lists are long. Forget trying to find a place that takes insurance (we have been on several wait lists for over a year). You can REALLY forget trying to find a therapist who will meet in person (not great for a kid who will not engage virtually). It has been an absolute nightmare. So save me your simplistic solutions, please. It's not easy at all. [/quote]
