Florida was absolutely correct in their approach. They protected their most vulnerable citizens in the LTCs, first and foremost, and then they reopened businesses, government offices and got the kids back to their physical schools. Florida is the gold standard for how things should have been handled.

There are states that have had their kids out of school so long that they aren't even clear where some of their students are anymore. The kids have completely checked out of distance learning and are off doing...whatever....bored kids with nothing to do...do. It's quite the train wreck.
Children are incredibly resilient. This is not meant to be a universal example - but, in 1st grade, I was having trouble relating to, 'Puff and Jane went up the hill-hill'. My parents bought me some comic books and that worked for me. By the end of 1st grade I was reading with the top group (the bluebirds, I think)!
