[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is an entirely predictable consequence of closing schools and is part of the reason why the AAP and other pediatricians opposed school closings. [/quote]

Yes.  I think people are putting too much blame on both teachers and parents.  The reality is society failed these kids in many ways over the past year and a half (from those refusing masks and vaccines to school boards that couldn’t adapt creatively).  They now need to be resocialized and taught some of the basic skills of how to function in a social school environment.[/quote]

The consequences (behavioral and otherwise) of the closures will play out for years. These issues with behavior are completely unsurprising and will take a long time to correct, if they are ever really fixed (I am skeptical; I think in ten years we will see kids who were kept out of school are more likely to commit crimes). You can't just remove kids from education at a critical time in their development and expect no consequences.[/quote]
