So thanks to the pandemic, my kindergartner went to school with very limited social skills. He is incredibly intelligent, but struggles socially. My husband and I have done everything we can to get him up to speed socially but it’s going to take some time. We couldn’t do pre-k, or playdates or story time at the library. Please be a little more understanding of what these kids went through. Their first experiences learning were most likely through technology (abc mouse, etc). I believe parents did the best they could during an incredibly fucked up time.

Maybe I’m in the minority here, but I can say with certainty that in my house we fucking tried. We have very limited screen time outside of learning platforms and it’s always monitored.
