[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are you guys really that worried about what *your* elementary school kids are not learning? I worry about kids with special needs or kids whose parents aren’t engaged, but the average child of a parent on this board? I don’t think my third-grader is exceptionally bright but I honestly think he could miss half the year and could easily learn all the material with a little help from me. Third grade just isn’t that hard. He’s working on division facts and the definition of a fact, not quadratic equations or the history of the enlightenment. I want him back in school so he’s not in front of a screen, so he can be with his friends, etc, but the academics aren’t a big deal at all. [/quote] The difference is you have perspective and self awareness and some resilience. They do not. [/quote] Amen. I wish my kids were able to be back in school too. But I recognize that the obstacles to doing that are real and that my kids will survive either way. Kids with difficult learning or emotional issues or parents who must work outside the home have my support in trying to get their kids into school. The rest are just self absorbed folks who need to gain some perspective. [/quote]
