[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm in NOVA and the school situation is depressing. The biggest problem I see is that teachers can't control the behavioral problems of kids (not blaming teachers btw) so not a lot of learning is happening and the whole school environment is just really stressful for kids. I was honestly thinking about moving but I hear complaints about this from people in many different places. Are there any places in the US where this isn't the trend?[/quote]

My kids are doing amazing but I think it's because I made sure they didn't slack off during remote. In the end this was mostly about parenting not schools, but that's always been true.[/quote]

I’m glad your kids don’t have special needs. Mine do, so I wasn’t able to meet their needs during the pandemic. That’s made everything SO much more challenging. We’re spending $300 a WEEK on various therapies and we’re very thankful to be able to do so. Kids need even more, but $300/week is what we can afford. Now imagine a family with similar needs on free/reduced lunch. The kids wouldn’t get those services and would be a nightmare in school. Please don’t judge the families who are struggling. It takes almost endless resources to dig some kids out of the hole we got in during the last few years. [/quote]

Medicaid pays generously for therapies. [/quote]
