We have teachers in our immediate family, wonderful teachers, and they will tell you there are many teachers who shouldn’t be in the classroom and the are too many educational demands from the government as to what will be taught.
Parents aren’t crazy, much has gone amuck. You went to school a long, long time ago and your mother taught many years ago, things have definitely changed.
This isn’t to say there aren’t wacky parents out there too with children they’ve messed up. Our family members should become authors and write about the situations they’ve seen, it would be very interesting reading.
The bottom line here are the kids that lost ground during the pandemic either through the isolation, teachers who couldn’t teach online, students who couldn’t learn online, poor financial situations which affected nutrition and so forth.
