"We are actively dealing with problems remote learning caused. A whole generation of kids is further behind than they were tracking to be behaviorally, mathematically, and in reading scores."

Gee I wonder what would do that, is it three+ years of unmitigated exposure to a virus that causes brain damage? No, the problem is they stayed home, which makes you developmentally challenged, as we all know. Oh, you don't want to get COVID? Then stay home.

    Fair enough; I am not a parent nor a teacher, so I'm willing to say this is not my wheelhouse. To my knowledge the idea of a prolonged summer break like that is not such a popular concept in other countries than the US so I believe when you say there is a concern, I just wish everyone was consistent instead of this mealy-mouthed crap where we ignore the massive elephant in the room for, I don't know, a tapir or something, and then it's not even all the tapirs in the room!

      Absolutely. Some consistency would be a breath of fresh air there 100%. Leaving children disabled by a preventable illness isn’t helped by that same overwhelmed intervention system either.
