We tried very hard to keep things normal for our small kids, but as parents we paid a heavy price. I changed a lot as a parent and also as a person. I had a great life beforehand filled with friends and relatives. It made me realize that you can't rely on anyone. Grandparents just huddled in their houses by themselves while kids had mental breakdown and parents nearly lost their jobs.


Yes I was changed as a person too. Became pretty jaded. My kid, surprisingly, did better - but I would never dream of denying that some kids were deeply affected.
As for the playgrounds - those in power had to “do something” and it was the easiest thing to do.


People were dying and your biggest worry was playgrounds. You can get a $100-200 swing set for your backyard. No backyard, go to a friends house.

Keeping public schools closed for an extra year - while private schools and restaurants and retail and etc were open - was a giant mistake.

And I will never forgive progressives and teachers unions for throwing kids under the bus like that

I think one important lesson is that schools stayed closed far too long, and we are paying a heavy price for that.


The kids paid a heavy price, and their parents. The people who made these decisions aren't paying anything and will never be held accountable.


You keep forgetting to mention the teachers who might have refused to go to work or quit if they had been forced back. Who was going to do the teaching? Why do you expect people to sacrifice for you?


This is the latest Democratic spin. “Oh we could not have opened schools! Teachers would have quit!” Do you think we are idiots? In DC right here, private and parochial teachers returnee. They returned in other states and in countries around the world. The reason blue city teachers refused to return is that their unions had political support and the Dems turned “keep schools closed” into a campaign promise, which is absolutely deranged. And then cowed public opinion by labeling any parent who dissented as a racist teacher-killer. Not to mention exaggerating the risk. We lived through it sweetie - we know what happened.


And yet, you still come on here and spew nonsense. Somewhere in the middle is the truth, but you are to busy foaming and the mouth about "Dems" to ever see it. Seek therapy. Truly.


Do you think Democrats that critize the Democratic establishment don’t exist?


Of course, there are (many) people who register as Democrats who criticize the Dem leadership. However, most of us aren't interested in listening to raving. If you can calm down and come back with reasoned opinions, we might be interested in listening. But you are just another blustering fool.

"Seek therapy!" The ultimate DCUM insult.


You poor fool. Sometimes it's not an insult. It's heartfelt advice. Bless your heart.

You’re full of it. It hasn’t been in blue states with robust teacher unions that schools have had to cut down to 4-day weeks—in 2023—because they’ve had so many staff walk away.

I knew our so-called leaders were making it up as they went along, when they all came out in support of BLM protests during a supposed public health emergency.

Your point seems to have changed, or was this a different poster that you actually think was just talking smack?

That's just the deaths reported in the paper, though. Do you understand what confounding variables are?

We aren’t paying a “heavy” price for it. The kids will be fine.

It’s not like that was some unique or unprecedented phenomenon. Children in war zones go without schooling for years. They experience actual trauma and turn out fine. These overly anxious mommies going all Karen mad in school boards years after the fact whinging about “learning loss” really need to check themselves.


Lol Demogratic education policy: “It’s not as bad as a war zone! STFU you racist!”


To be precise, " It's probably not as bad..." I suppose we will find out eventually.
