[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids managed and came out ok. They're both very self-motivated so did fine on the academic side. I'm sure it's not what it could have been though. But as teenagers they missed out on some important things socially. Millions of kids had it worse.

But in retrospect, closing public schools for a year and a half - while privates were allowed to stay open, not to mention all of red America - was disastrous. Just read some of the comments here. We collectively decided to throw public school kids under the bus. Unforgivable. A complete societal failure.

Where were they closed a year and a half? In VA, it was March 2020 to March 2021.[/quote]

Lots of DC schools did not open or did not have space for all kids that wanted to go in person in Spring, 2021.  So many kids weren't allowed inside a school building between March 2020 and didn't open until Fall of 2021.[/quote]
Same in Virginia.  My kid could go back 2 days a week, but her teacher was only appearing virtually to those kids.  She didn't see a teacher in person until Fall 2021.[/quote]
