[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sorry pressed submit too soon kids learn things at different ages and in some European countries kids wouldn't start formal education until 6/7 anyway. So I'm not super stressed out with my child is arbitrarily behind in some skills and ahead in others when I know that she is still working hard and improving I think the bigger impact on the pandemic has been just the social emotional regulation. I think that students are still really struggling in that domain and I think the impact of the pandemic is going to be felt for years to come [/quote]

People on DCUM love to say that kids in Europe don’t start formal education until 6 or 7 but this is really misleading. Even in the countries like Finland where this may be true, the kids are starting school having been taught to read by their parents at home. So it’s not like the US where a lot of kids are watching TV or playing video games all day while their parents are drunk or high. And, more importantly, those kids in Europe are actually being raised by their parents and not the government. They can sit quietly, follow directions, and they know not to throw a tantrum in school.

The impact of a year of school closures will certainly be felt for years to come though, you’re right about that.[/quote]
