[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Studies in Sweden and Norway showed us by the end of 2020 and before vaccines that it was safe to open schools with some basic precautions. [b]But many school districts in blue states kept out school closed until late 2022[/b] despite the plethora of empiric evidence saying it wasn’t necessary as well as growing evidence of harm from the school closures.

None of these people have been held accountable for this malfeasance. [/quote]

Which Virginia schools were still closed in the winter of 2022?

The closures definitely had an impact and we should discuss that, but exaggeration isn't necessary.

And the pandemic doesn't account for the poor performance of students in K-3, as discussed above.[/quote]

NONE. No schools were closed in winter of 2022. Kids were back in the classrooms by Feb/Mar 2021.

Republicans are LYING POSs.

I'm not a Republican.  Not even close.  But I do remember what was happening in my kids' schools.

In winter of 2022 they were keeping the windows open in my kid's classroom to reduce the chance of COVID spread.  I sent fingerless gloves to school because it was often 40-50 degrees in the classroom.  They also weren't using paper to do work because it could spread COVID.  Kids had to stay 6' apart to avoid spreading COVID, so no group work or moving around the classroom.  Teachers wouldn't move around the classroom either and stayed at their desk, distanced from kids.  Kids were also pulled out for weekly COVID tests.  Kids had to keep their masks on at all times and washed hands many times a day.  It wasn't close to normal at all.

There was also a huge backlog in testing needed for younger grades, as many kids had missed screening for dyslexia, dysgraphia, ADHD and other LD.  So lots of issues socially and academically for teacher to handle.[/quote]

So your kid [u]was[/u] in the classroom?

Thanks for admitting that you are a lying POS.
