[quote=Anonymous][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]

Yes we all see it. Some want to ignore it and say get over it but that’s impossible. Shutting down schools for part of one year and then having virtual school the entire next school year (only 4 days a week mind you) was devastating. The curriculum was pared down to bare bones and kids were on their own. Meanwhile other districts/privates were back in school earlier but FCPS couldn’t get it together. Which also meant that the year returning from virtual school was bad because they hadn’t worked out the in person kinks like other school already had. The first year back in person was rough because the kids spent too long in virtual school the year before.[/quote]

We don’t want to ignore it. We just want to focus on solutions instead of just blaming. [/quote]
