[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not at all surprised to hear that some kids are really struggling to be back in school. Not everyone had parents who could work from home or dedicate hours during the workday to help them with virtual school.  There was a kid in my 2nd grader’s class last year who had to do virtual school from his mother’s car.  FROM THE CAR.  Another kid in the same class was in a different location every day, it seemed, depending on her parents’ work schedule.  There were other kids who sort of just disappeared and never logged on.  Who knows what their home situation was last year.

So yeah, some kids probably didn’t hear the word “no” very much last year, or had way too much screen time. Maybe that was the best the parents could do given their situation. Hell, some kids have lost family members to COVID.

It’s ironic that we have teachers here saying “I can’t do this, it’s too hard” who are simultaneously blasting parents for not doing more last year when juggling their kids’ virtual school with full time jobs of their own. [/quote]

DP here. We are blaming the behavioral issues on the parents. If it was just learning loss I think that would be easier to understand. But it’s the abysmal behavior too. [/quote]
