[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why do people have such pent up anger? Our kids are back in school full time with very little disruption so far this year. [/quote]

Is this a real question?  Do you really not know?[/quote]

Yes I really do not know. Why are people dwelling on the past?[/quote]

Well, for starters it's not like we woke up and everything was hunky dory.  Even more kids are behind.  The education gap between white and Black kids has gotten wider.  Teachers talk about having to deal with more behavioral issues, even with young kids.  So things that are repercussions of prolonged school closings are present today.  A lot of that could have been avoided.

Then there was the 1.5 years spent being told how if we want schools to follow the science and open with mitigations, it was only because we hated our children.  Our concerns were completely denigrated.  It was pretty vicious, if you didn't see it.  Women had to leave the workforce to care for kids at home.  I'm personally still digging out of the financial hole created by last year's school closures.  But the response to a mother saying "I don't know how to take care of my kids and work out of the house" was met with "why don't you love your children" or "make it work".
