[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How many of you think that the lockdowns in grades 2-3 did a major number on your kids at a key developmental stage? I see it in my own child whose learning disabilities weren’t flagged until much later. I see it in my students who are more immature than typical 5th graders. I had hoped they’d equalize the further we got from distance learning but they’re still lagging.

Do you see it? [/quote]

I have a 10th, 7th and 4th grader and the kids in my 4th graders class are way less mature than what I saw in my older kids 4th grade classrooms.   Some of the kids are just out of control.  
The middle and high schools had a really rough time the first couple of years after pandemic but I think things are settling down a bit.

We are at Title one schools and a lot of the kids were just left to their own devices during online learning because their parents had to work outside the house and didn't have a lot of options.  My DH and I struggled to juggle everything, I don't know how single mothers working 2 jobs managed it.
