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.

Same, went on a nice walk with my dog and he did not have a lease on and some woke individual was freaking out that my little cocker spaniel was breaking the rules. Technically, yes I was breaking the rules but it is a huge park but the way this guy, a man, acted was just shocking to me. Act like a man and not a scared little bird and drop the hand waving gestures and I would have acted accordingly. It takes about 30 seconds to see if a dog is mean or not so don't act like a big wuss. Maybe I'm too old school but the words came out of my mouth I just couldn't stop from saying and I think he called 911 or something but there were no cops at the end of my walk.
That's why I never mince words when it comes to relaying these stories to my kids, just say it like it is and I give the disclaimer that is dad's opinion but kids are kids and they will adopt my view through osmosis. If that makes me a bad parent than I'm a bad parent and I call it like I see it.
Have a good day SpaceG84
