    When that little boy raised his hand for a High Five it made me so sad, they're still trying to adapt to this new reality. I feel so bad for the children & the new babies being born into this new world. Some pediatricians & child psychologists did research saying this pandemic will affect child development immensely. Little contact with others & the outside world, isolation, it could have long term damage on children. The next generation could be worse because of this.

    I remember going to kindergarten during SARS in Hong Kong, every toddler wore a mask, sanitiser their hands walking in and out of classrooms, wash hands frequently, and were not allowed to talk when masks are off, so we weren’t allowed to talk when eating.
    I wouldn’t say it was traumatic but it did make our whole generation grow up being a lot more cautious. We wore a mask during flu season and if we are sick ourselves every since, we had to check our temperature every day before school, write it on a card, have our parents sign it, so we can show our teacher at the school gate everyday. Escalator handles, door handles and lift buttons are sanitised every 2 hours per protocol even when it’s not flu season. It would be interesting seeing how the western kids cope with this pandemic since this is more of a “level up” than a new thing for Asians.

      It depends on the country or region, most countries in Asia, icluding my own country are having problems cause mask culture isn't a thing, not to mention that the very idea of continents is a man-made concept which makes no sense(Ex- the Suez Canal, Panama Canal are man made these divide Africa to Eurasia, and the Americas respectively) Afterall no one is sure if the Caucass region is a part of Europe or Asia, since the Caucasians were influenced by a type of greek people, and then various people groups both from Asia, and Europe. The line between Asia, and Europe is arbitary, and so is the line between Australia/Oceania and South-East Asia, and even South America due to islands near the Americas.

    As everyone shares their experiences in the comments... here's mine: I live in Germany and graduated from high school last year, now I work in a school. It was hard for me to adjust to being and learning all alone at the beginning of the pandemic. Our teachers were more focused on the younger students, which I totally understand, but it left me feeling like nobody cares about me, home schooling didn't even took place for our grade. I adjusted pretty well and it all went fine. Of cause it was extremely sad to not have a prom, but I don't want to complain about that. September last year I started working with middle schoolers at a german "Gymnasium". And it's tough. The rules are all over the place. First, students had to wear masks outside, not in the classroom. Then, it was the other way around. Many students neglect the rules which makes it hard for me to teach them. Overall, I want to thank every teacher from the bottom of my heart because life is crazy and I admire teachers for comforting kids in those hard times!

    Teachers are having to be , moms , dads , grandmas , social workers , food security, emotional/mental health workers , a shoulder to cry on , all on top of a being a teacher. And the sad thing is , they’ve always been that , it’s just in our faces now more than ever.
    I’m a first a responder myself ( in LA ) and if the teachers don’t get the support they need now and in the future, I’m afraid we won’t have more future fire fighters , paramedics, EMTs ,

To spending hours preparing lesson plans, only to hear measures have changes and you can't do the things you were planning on anymore (I'm a music teacher so we aren't allowed to sing or use certain instruments in class). It's been draining and exhausting but at least I'm learning 😬 .

      A heads up, you will eventually resent school/college administration always taking the stance of everything is okay and if not, do yoga and breathing exercises. Btw, that will never change, that you can't apply your lesson plans because adminstration will always create situations that block your efforts in effecting student progress. It broke my heart hearing the kid with emotional distress and fear. I'm the adult and I have that same distress and fear. That distress & fear that when I catch Covid I will live with the long term effects of it for the rest of my life. There's a term for it already called 'long Covid". It's up there with the same fears related to having cancer if you ask me. I can only imagine there will be medical insurance for Covid only just like there is long term cancer care insurance which no one can afford other than politicians.

    So many parents, students, and teachers struggling to educate and learn through this. The GOOD news is that kids who miss a year of school entirely are still able to catch up later...so even if they learn very little this year, they will be okay.
    (According to a study done in Israel, I think it was...some area there, the kids couldn't attend school for a full year, and he looked at them a few years after school resumed, and they had caught up.)
    I'm just glad my kid isn't having to deal with all of this--we home educate, so no major disruption for us. We did have to give up the classes he usually takes in-person, and we can't go to museums and festivals and workshops like we normally would.

I make my daughter write little notes to me and her sisters. We call it "can't get upset notes" this way she can express to us exactly what or how she is feeling and we do the same. 95% of her notes are always positive. Her school also have a counselor who come online every Thursday to talk to them but does it as a class. It just a crazy world now

I’m also at a grade level where I’m no longer learning the fundamentals like how to read or count. I can’t imagine how hard it must be for these kids to miss out on essential childhood moments, possibly miss out on necessary education due to remote learning issues or absence, and the psychological impact this will have.
    As I said I’m a high school junior but I can already tell that this virus has had a psychological impact on me and the way I act. I can not say if the way I lived before covid and the way I thought about people/social interactions will ever be the same again. If I’m already being impacted and feeling the psychological toll of this virus I can not imagine what it must be like for these kids.
    I commend teachers and school staff working their hardest during these trying times.

    Kids should be doing remote learning only. They should not be put at risk and be putting their families and others at risk just because we have a president who is so impaired, incompetent, and politically motivated and has no concept of public health measures for infection control during a pandemic. The kids need adults who will fiercely protect them, who model healthy behavior and can allay their fears, not expose them unnecessarily to sickness and death. Kids can catch up on learning, sickness and death is another story.

      Maybe there aren’t any good answers? Lower income communities are being hit the hardest both by Covid and changes to schooling. How can teachers guarantee educational success with young children with poor internet connectivity if they can’t come to the classroom? Lower income communities have higher Covid rates due to an inability to socially distance (essential workers, tighter living conditions). Given that children are generally the least Covid affected demographic, doesn’t it make sense to let families make the decision on whether they want to mitigate the virus or forever damage their child’s education? I trust that schools are taking all the precautions necessary to maintain a safe learning environment. A family is owed all facts and education to allow them to make the best possible decision for their situation, not a one size fits all.

We do it that way in the Netherlands and maybe 10 elematary schools have had an outbreak. It's so much better for the students and parents. If the parent is of high risk they make sure the child can social distance.

They don't need to go to school. For what?! So they can get a piece of paper that shows that have honor roll? So they can get a piece of paper that shows they graduated? For what? So they can be brainwashed to believe men can be women and women can be men? So they can be indoctrinated to believe they need a college degree to be somebody? Jesus didn't have a college background and he was somebody! Look at the richest pple of the world, check and see if they have a college degree...hmm nope they don't! The publiv schools and higher level schools strip the creativity from our children. It strips them of their spiritual findings, innocence, character, and health. It doesn't cost much to do it either.
