[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you all could not be flexible during a major health crisis and only cared about yourselves, it speaks volumes.  Normal childhood?  Years ago, normal was being educated at home?   Sounds like you all are ridged, inflexible and refuse to parent.   What is going on at home that makes you so unhappy you cannot be at home.   There are people with real health issues and you making fun of them screaming anxiety makes you a bully and this is probably why your kids struggled so much.  It was not Covid but you.  You have the mental health issues.  It was really no big deal.  If anything the slowed down life, dinner as a family and spending more time together brought us closer.   [/quote]

I hope you're not a teacher and wrote ^ that mess. Yikes. So much going on.[/quote]

Stop blaming teachers for your issues.  Teachers were working.  [/quote]

They were? Then explain the learning loss. How did that happen?[/quote]

My kids had zero learning loss.  We helped them, made sure they logged on and did their work, used the free tutors and more.   Why did you not do that?  Most kids who struggled always struggled but were ignored.   If a middle schooler was struggling it was because the school and parents failed them before all this.  Many kids have lots of unidentified needs and parents like you expect the schools to 100 percent fix them which will never happen.  My best explanation is the dumbed down curriculum because of complaining parents like you, and those who did not monitor their kids.  Mine were fine.   So, how was your house structured where your kids were not and what did you do about it vs complain?[/quote]

Look honey. If you embrace such an individualist approach, you can hardly then blame everyone else who does the same. Why would I “stay home to stop the spread” or whatever goofy mortalistic slogan, when per you everyone is completely on their own when it comes to education? If that’s the case then f teachers, open the school for *my* kid.

But anyway, this has been my thought since people first started to argue that teachers were just logically asserting their own interests. OK then, teachers unions just lost a whole lot of supporters … [/quote]

The schools were kept virtual for multiple reasons including low income families in multigenerational housing where grandma was living with them, to the fact sone of our schools have 3000 students plus families with multiple kids at different schools.  Covid is highly contagious and was deadly.  If you cannot understand this and get out of your privileged bubble there is no hope for you.  Many kids lots parents and grandparents and other relatives.    Maybe not in your privilege bubble, but in your helps bubble.

Really, why was virtual so bad in your home?

We now know that school closures were a mistake. That’s the entire point of this thread. The science does not support their closure and frankly the evidence against extended closures was there from the very beginning and was ignored.[/quote]

Actually science DID support their going virtual - virtual wasn't closed.  It wasn't a huge mistake and kids are back in person for over two years and the issues that those are complaining about are still happening so maybe virtual wasn't the issue and other things were.

Many kids had parents die from covid.  I would think they'd prefer to have their parent living and be virtual than what actually happened.  You live a charmed life so you have no concept of health issues or illness related deaths.[/quote]
