[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The first graders are going to be fine. Yes, last year sucked but catching up K and 1st grade work isn’t going to be a big problem. I’m thankful I didn’t have an older child that was missing more advanced classes.

The older kids are fine. Their teachers actually taught their full curriculum last year. And they already know how to function in a school environment. [/quote]

Lmao! No one taught or learned the “full curriculum” last year, and no one learned anything for the last 1/3rd of 2020. No grade is fine.[/quote]

My 8th grader is 100% fine, not behind, not struggling. [/quote]

My 6th grade DD is 100% fine academically as well.  It's been a rough transition for the whole school behaviorally, per the principal.[/quote]

Yeah. Its sad when the discipline of the children is left up to the parents for 18 months, and this is the result. Previous generations of parents at least had behavioral expectations for their kids, and would have been upset at the child if they misbehaved at school, rather than blame the school. [/quote]

Yeah, definitely the parents’ fault that young kids are having trouble with behaving appropriately in a classroom setting after being deprived of one for 18 months. [/quote]

These kids are having trouble behaving in every setting including at home. Parents sometimes bring in their kids for conferences and then you can see who rules the roost at home (hint: it's not the parents).[/quote]

Some kids literally haven’t heard the word NO in 18 months and it shows. [/quote]

Or ever. I have kindergarten and first graders telling me no nearly every day. Some have very bad reactions to being told no. The conferences I've attended with parents are eye-opening. The parents often admit that they give the kids what they want. We had a few kids refuse to give up ipads after testing. The parents said that they fall asleep at home with their tablets because they don't want to give them up. It's been very, very draining.[/quote]
