My high schooler is SO RELIEVED and HAPPY that it's going to be all distance learning.

My elementary schooler as well, come to think of it.

They both did very well with distance learning this spring.[/quote]

That seems to be rather irrelevant information.  [/quote]

Seriously, not constructive at all.[/quote]

I am making the point that distance learning works for some kids. And not very subtly, I am making the point to please get over yourselves! We are in a pandemic. DCUM can continue to wring its hands, vituperate against schools, etc, but we'll still have distance learning anyway.

So... why not make the best of it? If you go in certain that the school year is going to be terrible, it will be, particularly with a teen. If you do your best to find something positive about it, it won't be that bad.

If OP is concerned about her teen's mental health, there are videoconferences available with a pediatrician, then a psychologist or therapist.

I sound mean, but please remember we're not sending our kids to be killed in Vietnam, we're not experiencing wartime starvation, we're not migrants, we get to sit at home with our internet and online deliveries. Get a grip.

I'm sorry, but you are a dumbass.[/quote]

DP: No, I think there is a serious point here. It can be too easy to blame the pandemic for what you see in your kid, but that could be dangerous if something else is going on. This isn't a universal reaction to the pandemic, so I think it is important to look deeper.[/quote]
