On News 4 this morning, one of the anchors pretty much blamed teachers and schools for the fact that some first graders didn't know how to tie their shoes this year after the pandemic. It showed a school in Alexandria that was helping students to tie their shoes.

Since when was it the schools' responsibility to teach this? Teaching kids how to tie their shoes is a parent's job. Kids were home at that time and parents didn't teach their kids how to do this? This shouldn't be blamed on the schools.

Schools refused to open for a year and a half. Of course[b] it’s their fault that kids don’t know how to do tasks they learn at school.[/b] [/quote]

You didn't teach your kids how to tie their shoes at home? [/quote]

NP. I spent the solid 362 days of FCPS virtual school ensuring my 1st grade could read, write and stay on track in math. Shoe-tying eluded me during that year, while DH and I also worked FT. Sue me.[/quote]

Exactly. Working parents of young kids are burnt out. Our mental and physical health really took a hit from the school closures.[/quote]
