[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Where do this kids in diapers and non verbal come from? Are they illegal immigrants? Or do they come from generational poverty?
I can’t explain lack of previous supports and care otherwise[/quote]

Not a teacher, but many families struggled during the pandemic.  I can see that if there were families where the parents had to work many more hours or multiple PT jobs that they may not have been able to do everything they normally did.  With the stressors of not being able to go out or do many usual things, many children had anxieties and issues that may have prevented them from learning the things they might normally have learned.  I know many young children who fell behind on many standard milestones during the pandemic.  So, it isn't a surprise that there may be more kindergarteners than usual who did not potty train.  And in households that predominantly speak a language other than English, I can also see that without being able to go out and encounter other families or children at playgrounds or public spaces that children who were raised in households where a foreign language was the default language may have had less opportunity than normal to learn English from non-family contact.[/quote]
