I disagree. Many kids were out of the hands of leftist govt indoctrinators.
The godless liberal socialist takeover of public schools is the worst thing that happened to kids in education in this country.
True!
The non socializing has to take second, to that.
Agreed. Closing the schools actually opened a window into the gulags public schools have become. Coupled with the greedy, selfish behavior of unions and total indifference to needs of working parents, support for public schools has plummeted almost as much as test scores and school enrollment. Randy Weingarten recently asked why the popularity of home schooling has risen so fast. The answer is “you” Randy.
Defund public schools NOW!
We have to burn the village to save it.
That’s too simplistic. It isn’t the gap in schooling. It’s the loss of learning discipline and the acquisition of destructive habits. It happened to my sons. The lack of structure alone has been the worst part.
