My wife teaches at the high school level and she would say the impact is very real. She said the next couple of batches of grade 10s coming into high school after the pandemic were a solid couple of years behind in terms of maturity. She also says some kids continue to wear masks just out of comfort of hiding their faces.
I know there will be a thousand different opinions on how we should have handled COVID, and I don’t really want to get that conversation going again, but I feel like it’s too bad we couldn’t have done a better job collectively as adults with wearing our masks and getting our vaccines so we didn’t have to pass as much burden along to the children.
