[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No academic impact, but huge social impact on my kid.  [/quote]

Do you think they are recovering? Mine seems to be finally better but the class still seems pretty volatile as whole. Seeing how important the kids are to each other makes the shut down seem even more horrendous. [/quote]

I’m the PP.  Our situation was unusual.  We had just moved cross country in September and so it was incredibly isolating when things shut down in March 2020.  Last year, DC was in 5th and the class was an absolute mess and behavior was terrible and that really irritated my kid.  I think the confluence of move/pandemic/age really knocked DC for a loop.  Im hoping that it’ll sort itself out as middle school continues, but we keep a pretty close watch for any signs that things are going off the rails.  Middle school has such a range of “normal” that it’s hard to figure out what’s what, but I’m especially mindful because I hit my first rough patch with depression at the same age.  I want to believe I’m a little more tuned in than my own parents, but I’m sure they thought the same thing.

I think most kids are resilient, but the devil is in the details on an individual level.[/quote]
