[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m a first grade mom. Fortunately my kid is doing great because we hired a pod teacher and allowed play dates for socialization. But from check ins with her teacher, I’m under the impression she is now way ahead of her peers. And there have been some class-wide emails about behavior issues the teacher is asking us to address at home and I’m so grateful my child isn’t involved, but I also feel horrible for the school staff dealing with this. This group of kids really was an after thought throughout the pandemic.[/quote]

You should feel bad for your child. Her class is probably a chaotic mess and she is probably bored to death.[/quote]

I do feel bad for her. For the other kids who are behind. For the teacher. I also have a lot of anger at society for deciding it was ok to sacrifice this age group to save by and large the elderly. We could have had kids masked and in school last year.[/quote]

Yes, so many of us parents of young elementary school students were screaming from the rooftops last year that the kids were not okay and no one cared at all. Instead we got a bunch of gaslighting emails from school administrators patting themselves on the back and claiming there was little to no learning loss. [/quote]

You understand that the principal and the teachers had no say over when school reopened. It was entirely up to the superintendent and the school board. Be mad at them, not your individual school staff. They are the ones dealing with the fallout, and they are not responsible for causing the issue.[/quote]

True- when I said school administrators I was really primarily referring to the superintendents. However I am disappointed that more teachers/principals in this area didn’t join parents in speaking up as to the importance of getting young kids back in the classrooms last year.[/quote]
