Closing schools and forcing kids to try to learn on Zoom was a crime against humanity, which harmed POC and at-risk children more than any other. Educational outcomes were so devastating that states decided not to do state testing to avoid taking data. Not a mistake. A crime.

Thank you! Teachers and school districts have received vitriol due to closures. They kept us all safe.

Do you have kids? Anyone who has kids witnessed the negative impacts of remote school. Do you not think kids wanted to be around friends, participate in sports, participate in clubs?

I’m guessing you didn’t have kids in school during the lockdowns.
