When you have a large percentage of your class with kids who have never been taught anything at home, the classroom environment is negatively affected for every student.

This. And its way more students than can be explained by SN.

Exactly. I see behaviors in my kindergarten students that are more typical of toddlers-3 yr olds. Many of them have never heard the word "no" before and they react in meltdowns, similar to a toddler. Teachers shouldn't be the first limits kids have.

Exactly this. And it’s difficult to deal with in the kindergarten context. In preschool you might have 12 kids and 2 teachers. In K we have 18 kids and 1 teacher. Tantrums are really not practical.

when you think about it, some of the current 5 year olds were in utero during stay at home orders and it was a period of very high stress for pregnant women.

That’s true. And all kids alive in March 2020 in the US who are still alive really are GenerationCOVID, marked indelibly by the pandemic. It’s not right to expect them to consider anything other than their first or worse impulse in anything.

What does this even mean? Lots of Covid kids, including mine, are not selfish maladjusted a holes. We can and do expect them to consider more than their first impulse.
