[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DD is a rising senior in a district that is going 100% virtual. I think it’s quite likely it will remain virtual all year. So DD will have missed the last quarter of her junior year and her entire senior year - the most significant parts of HS. If this happened at 32, it would be no biggie. But Junior and Senior years of HS!  These are some of the most fun and memory making years in life!  Yes, I realize that people have gone through worse, but still. My heart is just so heavy that she will be missing out on a very significant time of life. [/quote]
Two things:

1) You know what? 10 or 20 years from now, young people will be romanticizing this time and wishing they had been part of it.  My brother got a high lottery number in the draft in the 70s and so missed going to Vietnam - we were relieved of course - and years later, when people were making films about Vietnam vets, he wished he had gone. (!!!!!)
2) For a lot of people, high school sucked and other eras of our lives have much more meaning. (For me, it was grad school.)  Might have been the same for your daughter.

But all that said, it's rough on everyone and I hope she survives okay and makes some good memories in other ways.[/quote]
