Interesting! These poor kids deserve a break. What are they going to do instead?

No idea, they are still working out the details.

I think that’s really stupid in my opinion. If they are still doing
School weather at home or in class they are still learning and still should be given a grade period. I mean if they aren’t going to give a grade then why even send your kids to school?

I feel this but at the same time a lot of kids are struggling and having issues so I feel that’s why they are doing this.

Right now during this stressful time, schooling is extremely difficult for kids and families. Going to school is far more than receiving a grade. We have to get out of that old school mindset and instead focus on growth. In this era, even small growth should be celebrated given that we’re in the midst of a global crisis. The last thing we should be doing is failing kids or scoring them for things that are completely out of their control.

My kiddo's class had a big LiveLesson with the school counselor about Winter Wellness today and I was so impressed on the focus on self care, sleeping enough, eating well, getting outside and how to do simple breathing exercises. We are all so stressed out. I don't think we even realize how hard this has all been. It's been a huge weight we carry around. I don't fret about kids staying on track. If we have to catch them up, we have to catch them up. Health is so important. I was just reading an article about how the majority of kids who get covid have few symptoms but develop blood vessel damage similar to an adult who has severe symptoms and is hospitalized. We don't know anything about long term effects. We just have to keep helping each other, being understanding, and not giving kids a hard time. Some families had it really damn hard BEFORE covid, and they're drowning now.
Sorry for the rant.

I totally agree with this, I think we all just need to accept that every child will likely be behind next year. These kids have enough to worry about and grades during this time should not have an impact on their future
