And just exactly what kind of social interaction do you think the kids will be doing when they are in the building? I understand the concern for mental health but do you really think kids will feel so much better mentally when they are in school under these current circumstances? It's not like we're going back to the way it was before. That's what the kids miss. They miss their lives before covid. We all do.  [b]I know for a fact that my 9 year old will be stressed AF and worried to death going into a poorly ventilated school building with masks on and barely any opportunity to "socially interact" with her friends.[/b] She and I think many kids will be more stressed knowing that they are being put in a situation where they could potentially catch Covid.

If your child will be more stressed going to school than staying home, then you should choose for her to stay home.[/quote]

DP, but not all kids will be SO much more stressed going to school than they would be at home.  I hope you’re emphasizing to your daughter that the vast majority of children her age who get COVID don’t get that sick.

And no, things being totally normal isn’t what the kids miss most.  My kids have adapted fine to modifications required at their day camp.  It’s really NBD.  Staying home indefinitely?  That’s a big deal.[/quote]
