[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a bit of a hard time reading about how teens in the DMV have "sacrificed years of their lives" just to save their older relatives.

I am sorry, but seeing your friends outdoors and giving your power point over Zoom are not true hardships. What about the generations that went overseas when bombs and napalm were flying? That is true sacrifice. I get it that prom pictures are nice, but the tone of some of these posts show how very spoiled we have become.

Where would America be if those who came before us were not willing to give even conveniences up for the greater good? [/quote]

Zoom school is soul-crushing and by the way, it didn't get rid of COVID, so how is continuing it serving the greater good?

Oh, and by the way, do you have friends who have kids in college? Because I do, and at least three of them had kids who had mental breakdowns last year. Sorry they aren't mentally tough enough for you, but virtual classes, quarantine and complete isolation in hotel rooms (repeatedly), giving up normal college activities, including in person interaction and the ability to meet new people took its toll.

Human contact and interaction is not a luxury and it's not spoiled to long for it. It is a basic human need.[/quote]

+1000 I accept why we had to do what we did last year, but my kid also had a breakdown last year. Now has a chance to have some kind iof college, at a campus that requires vaccines. We can do this.[/quote]
