[quote=Anonymous]I teach arts classes after school, and I have definitely noticed that ES kids seem more "feral" this year. I chalk that up to COVID -- they have been in individualized environments during formative times. They have also been without social stimulation for part of that, so i seems to be kind of an explosive mix. But, it is frustrating. These are nice kids, but I have never had so many instances of kids just blatantly breaking the rules and thinking it's so cute. Or, just bolting off. Also, there are the kids who think they are in a private session, interrupting constantly and dominating the class. I hope things will work themselves out as kids are more consistently a part of a learning community, but I have often thought to myself, "How do teachers deal with this all day?" Especially after all the challenges they have had to deal with during COVID -- re-implementing curriculum online, shifting to hybrid, shifting to in person w/ many protocols, teaching masked, risking infection, getting infected. It's a lot. I am so grateful for my kids' teachers. Also grateful my kids are in HS, more autonomous and better able to socialize throughout COVID via distance outdoors because they are good about following protocols as well as having ability to text, etc.

Hang in there ES parents. And, teachers! (And bus drivers and cafeteria workers, etc etc etc)[/quote]
