[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Zoom or DL is not the problem. The lack of mental health services is.

[b]Newsflash[/b]: The mental issues your kids are having during distance learning would have happened anyway, you just wouldn't have noticed those issues until years down the line. And they won't magically stop because kids are in-person.

Kids were stressed, depressed, anxious, overmedicated, and overwhelmed [i]before[/i] COVID hit. Now those feelings are amplified.

If you really care about your child's mental health then stop going around blaming zoom or distance learning. That won't create any meaningful reform, just lots of sound bites that "the kids are alright" now that they're back doing in-person school.

Utter nonsense.  Putting elementary students on laptops all day is not developmentally appropriate and it IS harming them.  I just talked to my house cleaner yesterday whose first grader went back in person last week. She said her daughter was so unhappy every single day during DL, and now that she is back in person she is like a different kid. And she loves school again. [/quote]
