What this little pretentious kid doesn’t get is that public school has always been like this and the majority of kids wing it through K-12 (many even wing it through a bullshit degree in college). There has never been serious learning going on, and kids love any and all disruptions to class. Bomb threats is one that kids in my school used to call in as pranks daily when I was in school. For weeks everyone missed the first 3 periods of the day. Everyone loved the disruption. I can absolutely promise you nothing is bringing more joy to the kids than this COVID fiasco. Now, is education really being missed here? Not really. The kids that were going to excel anyways have somewhat involved parents that will expect them to prep and score respectable grades in standard tests/classes (your ap classes, SATs). Those kids already know they have to study more than whatever bullshit goes on in school. The parents/kids relying on the school system to help them achieve were never going to achieve just due to that reliance (it’s always been the case in public school). So what is this stupid post about? It sounds like business as usual to me.
