[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are you seriously on here saying “well you UMC+ kids don’t even need school anyway!!” Because that sounds like what you’re saying. Wow. What a horrible attitude for a teacher to take. [/quote]

Are you seriously saying your UMC child will suffer terribly by not attending school for one or two more semesters?  You know that many American kids do not attend camp or school every single summer right?  They stay home and somehow survive without all the wonderful socialization and structure of school.  UMC kids have tennis lessons and swimming lessons and baseball and mathnasium and kumon and music lessons and martial arts and private tutors and nannies at their fingertips, but they will be scarred forever? Come on now.  You know what scars forever? COVID in your lungs. [/quote]

You're the same poster chiding people, telling them all they have to do is sit on the couch. If the isolation and stress is causing depression or anxiety or other mental health issues, well, they're not getting bombed or shot so they need to get over it.

I think posts like yours underscore the stress that we're all under. We're all losing it, it's just that some people are aware of it and others aren't.[/quote]

I don't see the complaints of the isolation.  We spend time with our kids so its a non-issue.  And, they play games online with their friends.  What is going on in your home that your kids are so lonely and depressed?[/quote]
