[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How could anyone have predicted that closing schools for 12-18 months would have negative consequences? Oh wait...[/quote]

Seriously. I don't understand why the schools and teachers thought the kids were going to be ok. News Flash: They're not ok. [/quote]

Why is it the responsibility of the school to “help and/or fix” them, that is the parents primary responsibility.[/quote]

[b]Hmmm, because they broke them by remaining closed well after most workplaces opened back up? [/b]Kids were left alone and still expected to complete academic work. Because the pandemic showed the true dysfunction of the public school system and the safety backstops which had been reliant on open school buildings were suddenly gone from so many who depended on them?

Because parents love and want the best for their kids but if your life is built around the legally obligated reality that your child has to be in a school building for 6+ hours a day, then, well it takes a lot to transition to another plan when suddenly that building closes. Fair enough. When it’s clear that you are caught in the middle of a battle between the BOEs and teachers unions, you lose the ability to cope through that transition. Only to be forced to transition again even though most businesses, bars, restaurants and federal IC buildings are open for business as usual?

Schools play a vital role in our community. More than education. Or they did until they made it clear they only want to provide education whether or not anyone learns and aren’t responsible for any of the other roles they’ve played in the past.

Nobody “broke them.” Your “workplace opening back up” is not their responsibility.[/quote]

This still one of main problems with the teaching profession (parents perception). We are NOT responsible for their mental well-being, parents are. I get paid to teach them math. It’s just 100 times harder when parents don’t take some responsibility for their mental health.[/quote]
