[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's a combination of parents remembering how schools handled covid-it was hey kids teach yourself, you don't need to be in person, and the calendar. For years the schools have sent the message that regular attendance doesn't matter. [/quote]

Omg covid was ONE year of school. One. Many of the kids in school now weren’t even in school when covid happened! [/quote]

I think missing a few days is not the end of the world. But I would hardly say any chronic absences are going to good colleges. Guess it depends on what you think is good. Do you really think your kids are going to go to college classes now? Can’t wait to see that debt and no or worthless degree 
It clearly sent a message that in person education was not a priority and parents and students remember that. Kids who were in kindergarten when it started as still in elementary school so most kids in the school system remember the experience of a short google meet and then "go ask your parents what to do now".[/quote]

My youngest kid was was in K when it started. Did half of first grade online before hybrid began. Is now a 6th grader on the all A honor roll because she isn’t a moron who somehow thinks school will never matter in her life because she had to do Google meets for a total of 6 months ever. Get it together! [/quote]

Why you are choosing to spend your Sunday morning name-calling on the Internet is an interesting question.

You missed the point. Kids are missing school and still doing fine. They get good grades, go to good colleges l, and get good jobs. They don't need too be in school because instruction is so dumbed down for the least capable.[/quote][/quote]
