This article is about the utter failure of teachers and school staff to do their job. Hope they are ready for the huge increase in behavioral problems after schools were shuttered for a year.

Are you essentially admitting that kids at home with their families will return to school so utterly feral that schools will become behavior modification centers? If so, you’re telling on yourself . My kids are perfectly functional and thriving because our house is just a normal house. They’ve been chillin and doing DL and they’re just fine. Not sure wtf is going on at your house if your kids aren’t able to behave and function in society if they’re there with you more than not.

I'm sure you think you scored a point. You think you were clever in insulting the PP. But all you showed is how truly small-minded, ignorant, and undeservedly arrogant you really are. What happens in any given home cannot be extrapolated to an entire district next year. Nearly 200,000 kids in FCPS alone will have to learn how to be students inside the classroom after being away for 1.5 years. All the while, the administrators and teachers will have to find a way to remediate a catastrophic (nearly) lost year of education. If you think this is going to be easy on the teachers and/or your perfectly functioning, thriving kids, you really have no idea what's coming.

I AM a teacher. I am well aware of the uphill battle ahead of us but it has nothing to do with kids somehow losing all sense of conduct while at home. Why do you have such a low opinion of students and families? Among the thing that students find difficult about DL, being at home with their family isn’t top 5. They like that part a lot actually.

Ok, we shall see. Hopefully next year we can graduate from message board theory crafting to actual practice.

What I find really surprising about this line of argument is the idea that there is such a thing as "learning to be a student in a classroom" as if that were an end in itself. "Being a student" almost entirely involves being told what to do and following a limited set of instructions. This might have been a laudable goal about a century ago, when people graduated to go on to various clerical or paper pushing positions that they'd hold essentially for the rest of their lives. These days, not so much. And if you really think that's an important goal, 10 years of paper pushing vs. 12 isn't going to make a difference.

As for the idea that "you learn to work with others"...no, not really. My kids are excellent students and they've always loathed group projects--why? Because you don't get to fire the students assigned to your group, and the general rule is that in a group project involving four people, two will do absolutely nothing, one will make a half-baked, sloppy contribution, and the student with the highest standards will end up carrying the entire thing for three happy free-loaders.

We are working with it but it probably wouldn’t have been ideal for you either if you were in a dual working parent household with a non-reading kindergartner doing virtual learning.

I'm just saying that I wouldn't whine and complain about having more time with my children.

People who want schools to reopen aren't whining and complaining about having more time with their kids, and that should be obvious. They are concerned about the detrimental effects of distance learning ON THEIR KIDS.

I love having extra time with my kids and my kids are enjoying the extra family time. That 100% doesn't change my stance that my first grader especially needs in-person learning, and it would be better for my third grader. I mean that even if concurrent looks like DL-in-a-classroom.

Yeah, sorry, I don’t buy it. Kids are resilient and their brains are plastic. Also, you protest a bit too much — your use of the word “detrimental” and “on kids” in all caps seem like you are parroting a talking point you read in “Psychology Today.” I see a very valiant attempt to seem noble and unselfish — too valiant to be sincere.
