Answer a Question with a Question...

No..2 of our Grand kids are having problems.

Do you think a change is needed?
 

Of course many are having difficulty. The entire construct of online schooling is different.

Since nearly all children are in the same boat, don't you imagine a good portion of the early weeks of in-class instruction will focus on reorienting them, and assessing what deficits need to be addressed?
 

Some are already voicing concerns. In response, many US states are now vaccinating teachers.

Given how many teachers and school support staff are at risk because of age or other issues, don't you think it's reasonable for teachers to worry about being infected (particularly because so many children are asymptomatic while passing the virus?
 
If every student requires one additional year of education to get caught up, isn't that sacrifice worth the trade off for potential loss of life?
 
Not ALL or even most students will need another year of education. Many have done well with online learning and most have done well enough to not require repeating a full year. Adding a year would surely ratchet up dropout rates.

At the end of your high school years weren't you so eager to be sprung that you could barely make it through to the end?
 
Married to a beautiful and patient lady for almost 55 years, don't you imagine I've had to perfect the art of multi-tasking... just to keep up with her????
