Sounds to me they likely don't have children. Even one week at home for my kid is damaging let alone a year. The kids weren't spreading covid to teachers. Teachers could have worn respirators and been fine.

Governments should have kept covid out but harming children in this way to make up for disastrous decisions and behaviours of adults is unacceptable.

You should figure out why your child's household is so toxic. My son spent about 6 months last year at home. Between daily online classes, video calls with friends/cousins and activities at home. He was missing school/outside but I don't see any lasting negative impact of it.

you're an ass. my child is a toddler. they need to be exploring and interacting with other children, in person, playing, learning and receiving stimuli, not locked at home staring at screens.

What do you do during school vacations, and summer?

The kid can go outside, go to establishments with friends...

Kids should have been going outside throughout the pandemic, and seeing the small group that their family had chosen to isolate with. Of course, most families appear to have chosen to keep their kids inside and not have any isolation partners, which is strange but hardly the fault of the schools.

Then blame the clown politicians who failed to adequately handle the virus in 2020.
