[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]School was closed for 3 months in the 2019-2020 school year, kids were phased in for hybrid learning fall 2020, then paused for a surge, then back in spring 2021 and full time ever since. The kids this age have spent the majority of their elementary years IN SCHOOL, it does not make sense to attribute behaviors, etc to a time period of under one calendar year of online learning that was 4 years ago. It really does not. This is a parenting, lack of community, screens and societal norms issue. [/quote]

yes it absolutely does make sense. the school closure and slow return to normal life changed school and parenting practices for a lot longer than a few months. [/quote]

Continuing to blame that one year takes away any agency to right the ship. So just saying “oh well this generation is cooked because that year of school that was disrupted” is basically everyone throwing their hands up as if there’s just nothing else to be done anymore![/quote]

Contiuing to deny it as one factor is just showing you are politically motivated. [/quote]

No? I am a teacher. I taught in schools that year and advocated for students to be phased back in appropriately by need. But THAT ONE YEAR does not explain the VAST issues that an entire cohort of kids are experimenting and the shifting attitudes I see among parents as a whole. We are ignoring bigger, more pervasive problems if we say “it was Covid year!” Time to look at what else is going on because that one year cannot explain what is happening in schools - a microcosm of which OP is experiencing in her home among her kids’ peers.
