The kids don't really miss the academic side of school but all those social opportunities in the classroom, the games, sports, and fun of school is hard to replace. Parents fought like crazy to keep the screens in check and during the pandemic we caved because there was nothing else to do. You can only play Monopoly and go on nature walks for so long.

The winter is a killer. We did alright until it got too cold for the park or outings. We’ve had a few warm days and that’s been so good for them. We are still nowhere near as bad off as some of these kids who have just been on their own for months. Parents work (or don’t really care). Food is scarce. Kids that live in abusive homes have no one to help. The people who are keeping these schools closed are evil and I seriously hope they rot in hell.
