Highly unlikely. My wife taught children who came out of Sarajevo in the mid-90s and many of them have gone on to excel in life.
Children are resilient. What is _hurting_ them is not the school closures, but the panic and uncertainty that some people have put around this.

- geoduck14 5y ago>uncertainty is hurting all of us Simply by observing those around me, I have learned SO much about humans. We hate uncertainty. I hate it. I remember worrying myself into a frenzy looking at all of these tables predicting exposure and risk. "If we go to the grocery store, we can't see X friend... but if YOU go to the store and spend less than 15 minutes getting peanut butter and bread..." it was a mess. I also learned that humans are bad at responding to highly unlikely events. All throughout this pandemic, I remind myself that people are making emotional decisions not logical - and they are doing that because we all are really bad at making logical decisions. And then I remind myself to show them love and grace. What can I do to make your experience a little less frantic? Even if only for 1 minute.
