[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have no doubt that there is a loss of learning due to the pandemic and virtual learning. Im just curious as to what some of you would have done differently? I mean going virtual was the only option at a time. [b]Our kids are alive.

No.  Actually, it’s possible we lost more kids due to school buildings being shut down from the pandemic.  There has been a huge increase in mental health issues and suicides amongst kids since Covid began.

Zero kids age 0-17 have died of Covid in Montgomery County as a result of Covid.  ZERO.  That was with schools open/schools closed, prior to the Covid shot/after the Covid shot.

We did not ‘save kids’ lives’ by keeping schools closed.  Not at all.

Agree with the second poster.  Some people cannot face what a wrong headed decision this was.  Private schools were open.  Public schools in red-leaning areas were open.  Schools in other countries were open.  C'mon, it's 2022, we can open our eyes and admit that we absolutely failed the kids.[/quote]

The data indicates this had no bearing on the outcome. In fact, schools that were open had the same losses. [/quote]

Talk to any teacher and ask whether s/he thinks there are missing foundational elements in students today versus the students in October 2019.[/quote]
