‘Why Was It So Hard?’: How the Pandemic Changed Our Children. “The Stolen Year,” by Anya Kamenetz, is an account of Covid’s devastating effects on American youth.

But hey, the liberals had tons of studies* that showed the kids loved being stuck at home, doing nothing, missing all the milestones of their lives. Seeing no one, doing nothing, achieving nothing is what everyone loves, natch.

Turns out that wasn’t really true.

I miss this too:

I miss 2019, when progressives fought for every child to have a free and fair education.

After COVID, some are like “whatever, literacy is overrated. Just send the kids to the fields to work like the good old days.” https://t.co/zcHnjqV5Bv
