[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Actual first grade teacher here - yes, we have a lot of kids who are A's and Pre A's (don't know all their letters and letter sounds yet) than normal, but I don't think it will take "years" to catch them up.  We're already seeing progress at my school.  The biggest issues we are having are 1) WAY more bathroom accidents than we normally have (think a few a day vs a few a month).  Also, kids are being more physical with each other and don't have great problem solving skills.  But we're working on that as well.  I don't buy this 'the sky is falling' story line.  [/quote]

Thanks.  I have a first grader (and a 3rd grader).  I'm so relieved to have my first grader in a classroom with her teacher this year.  Last year brought the bar lower than I ever imagined possible.  Even when she returned to the building, her kindergarten teacher was still remote (along with half the class).  Somehow, my daughter can read now and she is improving her problem solving with her peers.  Her stories of physical behavior between the boys during the first week were ridiculous.  I'm glad you are seeing progress.

I'm actually most worried about my 3rd grader's handwriting.  I think she needed more training on letter formation in 1st and 2nd grade (lost during the remote learning).[/quote]
