They’re missing out on a lot more than that. They are being taught by our media/govt to be afraid to be close to other kids, to avoid contact, avoid sports, stay home. Get ready for a whole wave of psychotic episodes after doing nothing but playing video games for two years.
They are creating a whole generation of social misfits and mental issues. We know how that ends up!
Fortunately I’m in a red state in a rural area, the first week they let school out early, my graduating grandson was asked if he could drive a truck, so he’s been making $20/hr all summer. My daughter has a pool, so the younger girls are all at her house since the pools are closed also.
Our grandson got an internship in a construction job this summer and made the same pay as your grandson did and free Bart tickets. They also fed him lunches. They even furnished his steel toed boots and helmets.
