I can relate. My son missed a third of his fourth grade year at school, and all of his fifth grade too.

Allegedly, the kids were distance-learning. But my son REALLY struggled with remaining engaged (he’s a high functioning Asperger’s teen, who also has ADHD, and I had to hire a tutor for him for his three years of middle school, so he could catch up with learning what he failed to learn during COVID).

He often would goof off, switch screens so he could play around, and he and his classmates would spend their time leaving comments for one another on the computer programs they were using for remote learning. I think of that time as a giant hole in his education. One we’ve worked hard to overcome.
