Poor kid. All my toy guns looked like the real thing. Some fired little plastic bullets. You could put an eye out.

The only good thing about this bullshit lockdown is that it is getting a lot of our children the hell out of public schools. Private schools or homeschooling is the way to go.
Public schools suck in every way.
Yeh, that's why there are lawsuits out the ass from people suing to have the public schools reopened because online instruction sucks!
Some of it does and some of it is very good.
Parents who don't care enough to make sure their children are properly educated don't have any room to bitch.
Almost all online instruction sucks. My three grandkids hate it and they have three different systems for each one. I get calls from friends all the time needing help because neither the parents nor the kids "get it". These are college-educated parents.
I hear good things about the Khan Academy.
I send my grandchild to a well-regarded private Christian school.
Congratulations on sending your grandchildren to a real indoctrination center. To pretend otherwise is disingenuous.
I'm a Heathen. I made an objective assessment of the best school available for my grandchild in my area and that I could afford, and that is where I send her.
If she becomes a well-educated, well behaved, good Christian with some decent values, then that's a burden I'll just have to bear.
I went to Catholic schools forever.
The Catholicism didn't stick, but I got solidly educated and pushed to my limits. It was a matter of survival, at least in elementary school, and the bar was set to the top, not the bottom. The slow did not set the speed limit.
I went to public schools and they all sucked, even the ones where the staff wasn't downright abusive. Being one of the only white kids though, I spent a lot of time in the library trying to stay out of fights. (Worked but only to an extent; still got suspended or expelled from every school I ever attended, always for fighting. Public school administrations have the same attitude towards self defense as progressive DAs do). It was the best place to be; I educated myself on an awful lot of stuff, and I still read constantly. I have an entire bedroom in my house dedicated to my library.
Books are where we hide all the knowledge in the world away from the dumbasses who don't read.
