[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know you will rip me apart but I don’t even care. School starts next week and I know almost nothing about the logistics. Very little communication from the school. Parents of older kids say, “oh, it will work out.” Yes, I’m sure, but how hard would it be to tell me whether to send a snack or two? Or give me more details on how the day will look so I can prep my anxious child? Also, we are not allowed to pick up from school in the afternoon and highly discouraged from dropping off by car in the morning but the bus ride is an hour. I know I need to keep an open mind but I hate everything about this.[/quote]

Be thankful your child gets kindergarten. Mine was in K during the covid year when everything was hybrid and virtual and they had to wear shields over their masks whencthey actually were there. And when they were there they had to sit at individual desks and werent allowed to play together. Essentially skipped a grade bc it really didnt happen, and showed up to first grade without any of the K fun or skills.[b] I find all these new and incoming families to be so entitled not realizing how lucky they are that their 5 yr olds get to be 5 yr olds [/b]and get to start their elementary experience when things are back to "normal" again. Be grateful OP.[/quote]

Nope, bad take. You having a bad experience does not mean other people are entitled for expecting better. Nobody needs to be grateful for poor service or for public services that don't meet their needs.

"Be grateful because I had a worse experience" just divides people who should be united in demanding better of schools.  Plus, there's no bottom - you'll get someone on here saying "don't complain, at least you have a child" or "you're so entitled, our K didn't have enough desks" or whatever. Unhelpful.[/quote]

The title is I think I hate Kindergarten. Those of us who had our sweet 5 yr olds on computers would give anything to have been able to send our kids to school where they can have fun, meet friends, etc. People who are entering the school system when all the covid restrictions are over should be grateful! Our kids only have one childhood and for some of us, half of their childhood was spent in masks and covid restrictions. Those who are just starting now when no one cares about covid anymore are lucky their kids and they can just be kids. However I do agree it is very odd that her child has an hour commute. I suppose OP registered for the school knowing that though. Also sucks that her child has anxiety- can only imagine how her child would have fared with anxiety in the covid kindergarten year. Prob much worse bc at least her child will have access to the school counselor if she needs it.[/quote]

All you people who put your little ones in online school are nuts. You should have homeschooled for a year and then your kids would have been better off socially and academically.

Oh wait, then you couldn't be pandemic learning loss martyrs. [/quote]

Sadly couldnt afford private without having planned for it and I did not put him in online school. We were told it would be in person but it didnt work out that way. [/quote]
