Also America did not have long or onerous lockdowns, I am going to lose my mind

Posting about the 'laptop class' or 'PMCs' is the class analysis of fools. Scratch the surface and its really about disdain towards women and feminised men. Also, as with any complaints about how COVID was handled, kids being slightly ahead in school isn't worth trading for a single human life.

All they’re doing is taking control of the narrative, and they’ve mostly succeeded imo

Please.
Folks believe there were lockdowns.
"If you left your house they would ARREST you!"
I wonder if other teachers see this, too? Not just in learning but socialization?
No doubt, too, there is just national trauma. First year students were little kids when 🍊 road down his tacky escalator.
You'd think they were literally imprisoned.
What happened was there were about 3 weeks when restaurants were outdoor-only and everyone wore masks for like a year
Trailer park residents own rokus

*We know kids will fall behind, so, when things get "back to normal," more resources should go towards one-on-one instruction or guidance and/or counseling.*
It's worthwhile for kids to "catch up," but just, let them do that now!
School was online.
Parents had to be responsible for watching their own children.
If schools had remained in person, in 3 weeks the buildings would have been empty.
I got stuck in the USA for it, and my coworkers back home literally had to stay inside under threat of arrest!
Because it concentrates record capital at a rate that makes the oligarchs feel like kings who can now rule over us.

It is astounding.
I doubt Americans will ever psychologically recover from our government abandoning us.
Or something like that.
Never mind that sunglasses are proven to be more effective at concealing one’s identity.
Imagine a ban on sunglasses

Who was denied tenure for protecting protesting students from campus police. Basically a perfect Michael Hobbes intersection.
I was teaching for a dropout recovery charter at the time---nine campuses, with master teachers like myself delivering live instruction online.
We GAVE OUT LAPTOPS & WIFI ACCESS to our kiddos during COVID!
We could've done independent discovery learning multi-discipline projects driven by student curiosity & CHANGED LIVES. But too late now.
Did we? When? There was about two weeks when people couldn't go out and either kill other people, or get killed by other people. And then they opened restaurants again.
People who don't understand "novel" make me want to kick them in the shins. That's right. Both shins
My first instinct when reading that title was about the lead up being hindered by Trump's bad management of agencies.
Or how in the post game all of the good things about adapting to Covid are getting power washed away like work from home or the belief that working class people are essential.
Nonetheless, the people pushing hardest for schools to reopen were people with remote office jobs.
Then we had to start dealing with no mask assholes, and hoarders. And then we had to deal with the fact that we didn't have a perfect plan in place for every eventuality. Because it was, by definition, a fucking crisis.
I wouldn't say they were that long, but also I was deemed essential pretty dang fast AND had a very safe workplace, AND my kids were back in school in Fall 2020- not universal!
not everyone who doesn't is poor.
instead lets take down the book deal class.
that might increase the quality of literature and knock these shitters down a peg.
Non essential businesses being closed was not “lock down”
I recommended people read Anne Frank (or just wait)
Sorry for link to the other place. It’s 3 years old. Almost exactly.
My father lives in FL. I don’t think there were ever any enforced restrictions there. People self-imposed restrictions, and most (all?) states went to virtual learning from +
This was certainly hard on many people & students (I worked in a school), but I don’t know of anywhere in the US where individuals were not allowed to move about within the country.
I also know what a lockdown was, from being in Spain when it begun. Going alone straight to the to the supermarket once per day was okay. Other than that – $200 fine (immediately, cops were patrolling) no excuse, gracias. For you and for me.
People talk about them as if they went months or years, and you couldn’t even leave your house. But ultimately, I think rich people were just mad they couldn’t go to sit-down restaurants for a while.
instead of focusing on what could've been done to prevent a lockdown, how effectively it's done, or present evidence to what'd happen if it wasn't in place... we got the most insensitive/insane title
I remember seeing wealthier friends doing the "sure it's easy for me, but the underprivileged really need the schools to re-open..." stuff, and having the point out over and over again that the people they were talking on behalf of didn't agree with them one bit.
I'm sorry for your loss. :(
High risk families like mine were completely abandoned.
Kids are germ buckets
Our winter 2020 one was so long I learned the basics of the banjo.
We're a bunch of bloody savages and that's what covid revealed
Asking for my late husband.
We also had the lowest death rate in the country besides Hawaii…
