[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's not a good look to tell parents (whom you literally know nothing about) who have seen first hand the effects of the pandemic on their children, that the issue is their parenting. And then to patronizingly suggest that they engage in "self-reflection" is just disingenuous.

These are bullying tactics designed to stop people from advocating for what they need. Nobody disagrees that bad parenting exists. Mental health issues are also real. They can be caused by trauma including parental abuse and neglect, but can also be genetic and/or exacerbated by environmental factors such as social isolation. There are larger policy issues here that you are trying to distract from by attacking people. You've been doing it on these boards for a while, just want to say, I see what you're doing, and I don't respect it.[/quote]

You are 100% correct, but no one cares. The prevailing view is that everything kids lost due to the pandemic was reasonable, entirely justified, and caused no harm. Caring for children who have sustained trauma or been set back is solely a parental responsibility with the help of professionals that are in short supply and/or expensive. No one has any interest in a systemic approach to addressing this trauma because doing so would be contrary to the self-interest of adults making education policy. [/quote]

No one has said that here. You truly don’t know how to read in between the lines. Before we can even begin a systemic  approach, change should have started at home 3 years ago. You’re not doing your job so counselors, social workers, teachers, etc… are finding it impossible to do their job. It does start at home. Start doing work at home. Start being a parent. You’re here complaining, you could be using that time to help your child so that others can also help your child. This isn’t difficult but you absolutely want someone else to blame rather than doing part of this work yourself. This is a partnership. Stop. Blaming. Everyone. Else. Pitch in and do the work. How many times do you need to hear this? It’s not getting through. I’m sure it never will and the only people who will suffer are your own children. Grow up.[/quote]

You are a bully. You don't know anything about my family or my child yet you spend time writing this because you can't handle responding to what I am actually saying. You should feel Shane at speaking to strangers you don't know like this, you don't because you believe bullying people online is ok. I really hope you don't work in a school.[/quote]

DCUM: Full of parents who have the time to whine and complain about everything but somehow lack the time and energy to actually fix their own problems. Expect everyone else to do it for them. Then *on cue* complain about being bullied.  People are trying to tell you the truth but you don't want to hear it. I think I've read like 5 different posts telling you the same thing, but you keep coming back expecting different results and sympathy. Get the clue.[/quote]
