"The single largest domestic policy error in recent American history is the prolonged closure of schools during the COVID-19 pandemic and the disregard for our youth’s well-being."
Global data showed school reopening did not cause a rise in community viral transmission. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) even state on their website that school reopening for in-person learning does not pre-date increases in community transmission. But evidence of the harms of closure was piling up.
Yet, schools remained closed. In early 2022, 10% of all U.S. schools still had some form of remote learning. Many still do.
Prioritizing a return to normalcy for our children will not only decrease the risk of anxiety, depression, and suicidal ideation, but potentially help identify a child struggling in silence.
The consequences are mounting, and we are only seeing the tip of the iceberg.
The failed COVID policies of keeping kids out of the classrooms made little sense, was not reportedly backed by science, and our children paid and are still paying the price.
AGAIN: "The single largest domestic policy error in recent American history is the prolonged closure of schools during the COVID-19 pandemic and the disregard for our youth’s well-being."

COVID, mental health and schools: our kids are suffering and it's not all right
Our country made a grievous error in education when it closed schools for an extended period during the COVID pandemic. Mental health has suffered and our children are at risk.
