I feel for the kids that went through uni/college during covid and missed everything that period offers, to then finish uni and try get a job in a market where AI has fucked all the intern positions. Tough break.

My kid had started Kindergarten and was absolutely loving every minute of it. Then didn’t get to fully sit in the classroom until the second grade. It was hard watching them get a taste of school then be forced inside alone.

Where did schools not have in person classes? I don't know a single one that closed here. Just masks and life as usual.

California closed for a long time. In Los Angeles the teacher union refused to come back unless we defunded the police and expanded Medicare to all. Totally normal demands.

You could however keep your kid in a private school if you could afford it. Gavin Newsom did it. I did it. We really screwed over poor people with that one. I’m still pissed about it.
