[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wonder if folks who feel some big shift have kids?

I have two in school and it’s like it never happened, thank god.  I work in an in-person job which I prefer. Grateful I didn’t have an industry that stuck with remote work as I found it depressing and isolating.   My spouse does have some lingering covid issues but they’re managed.

It feels like a distant haze and I guarantee you kids and teens never ever think about it and didn’t feel some big shift to them. [/quote]
Except for the kids who had a remote senior year of high school or first year of college. They think about it, it was a big shift for them. I've talked to my nieces about it, and yes, everything is back to normal, but it's not something they'll ever forget.

I have younger children and I am still (two years after being back in school) seeing the pandemic learning loss in my older child. She's slowly catching back up, but it's taken thousands of dollars in tutoring and a lot of hard work. She remembers remote school, she remembers being lonely, she and her friends still joke about some of the crazy things that happened that year.[/quote]
