Geoffrey Canada: Children’s Way Of Life During Pandemic Has Caused Trauma | Stephanie Ruhle | MSNBC
In the 1950s, kids lived in fear of nuclear war, but those threats never materialized here in the US.
In 2020, kids are living with corona spreading in our communities, and many of them have to deal with losing a family member, teacher, neighbor.
This is so true because I am looking at the kids right here and the parents are so tired of it all. The kids are not learning because they dont understand and some have no computers access at all. LISTEN TO THIS MAN HE IS SPEAKING THE GOSPEL TRUTH………….GOD HELP US. Some parents can afford it while others are struggling and it hurts so bad to see this.
School used to be a place where kids went to learn. Now it’s a place where we have to meet social and emotional needs, provide them with food, make sure the parents aren’t beating the snot out of their kids at home, and provide daycare so the parents can be plugged into the machine to support corporate America. I was out of my classroom for ten days because of Covid 19. We had to shut down and go online only for two weeks because so many teachers and support staff were sick that we could not supervise the students in class much less provide instruction. Just bag it and take the pressure off until the vaccine is available. Let the kids sit at home playing games guilt free for three or four months. Have parents band together to take turns getting the kids out into parks for exercise.
We are not going to have an emotionally healthy country until the stigma from mental illness is erased. If the economy is so important that we are willing to sacrifice the health of our kids we can probably already identify why we are a nation of basket cases.
Thank you for your service and your wisdom and your heart.♥️
@Rebekah Curiel-Alessi Thanks. I hope I didn’t come off as a whiner. I love my kids, and it tears me apart when I see the conditions so many of them are working to overcome. I work in a Title I school (high poverty) and it is such a challenge, but I came here after 24 years in a private school system and these kids are so much more respectful and polite. The previous system had great kids too, but the kids I have now seem to really appreciate that we are here for them. They may not be the most motivated, but they are truly grateful for the positive relationships that we work to build with them.
I agree schools are treated as a daycares where nobody cares.
@Tim Kaldahl oh my gosh Tim…. not at all! You appear to be heartbroken you cannot provide what your heart and education tell you these children need!!! I am so grateful to you for being an agent of care to whom I’d just as soon support myself if I could. Meanwhile, I send you and your students my prayers and my gratitudes!
As an aside, my daughter is in her last year of a wonderful high school and with many advantages is still kind of just barely keeping her head above the tide: the effects of stress this gentleman discusses are apparent in my well cared for 17 year old.
I can only again, thank God that you and he are doing the work of angels and I can sense your students regard you as the oasis from isolation you truly are.
Maybe control the virus and get community spread to stop…? Like the plan was in the spring but stable geniuses decided to liberate bars instead of preparing to open schools.
We locked down once got the spread down. We opened up and the spread continued. Where’s the science to say that won’t happen again ?
What’s to stop it from happening again ? A different president ? That’s the only difference. So it’s political not science driven. Because there’s no science to say it won’t reoccur
@David Hale keep thinking that, it must make you feel better
Words, that should have been in the air a long time ago.
Let’s look back in history when we had other deadly plagues to see what & how they survived. Might find ways to look at this & see a way to still live our lives and maybe improve on them…this isn’t the 1st plague & won’t be the last so we better figure out what works.
So once the virus is controlled. You still have auto accidents gun violence drunk drivers. Yet you still drive everyday.
Life and death is there everyday. You can’t hide your whole life.
@David Hale Thats one way of looking at it but some of us actually care about the elderly and people with pre-existing conditions. So we’ll continue to do whatever we can to make sure they’re protected.
@rioleeo so every one must live in your fear or else ?
It must be done your way or the democrats way or else ? Very authoritarian facism of them. Bow down or else.
@David Hale I simply stated my opinion on the topic. If you’d like to call it fear that’s fine, I’d prefer to call it being a responsible citizen and caring for my neighbors. Also, I don’t know where you came up with this “or else” narrative because I said nothing that would lead you to that conclusion.
Our U. S. Education system is only as strong as our weakest schools in our most at risk communities! This guy seems to know tons more than the the sitting head of U. S. Education!
And yet usa schools are 85% liberal teachers and 24 th in education. That says more bout the teachers then anything
The sitting head would like public schools all closed
No John, the sitting President wants public schools open; his school age child is being protected by the private school chancellor who will have the children’s health and welfare in mind.
Parents need to get involved to insure these kids get their education until we can get the schools open full time. I get it, we’re all tired but can’t give up and especially on our kids
This is an honourable man
As a teacher, I can say that he is correct. I would say to prioritize those vulnerable and vaccinate them first and also to allow the at risk ones back to campus. I got covid myself, but I want to be with the kids.
So then, children will just live at school, so that they are not a danger to their family? I understand the psychological impacts, especially on children who don’t have good homes anyway. I do not get the priorities expressed here. WHEN we are up against Ebola or worse, are we still gonna send kids to school? At what point is whatever trauma lack of school causes overwhelmed by the certain death of family members due to Covid spread at school?
I call BS. The internet is fine, just to much fort night/pubg.
Ok so some kids would rather play games than attend lesson. What’s your point?
He is wrong about children not infecting others. One person infects another when virus droplets exit horizontally for several feet and then drift downward. Thus children do not infect adults, but they do infect each other. In the presence of enthusiastic singing or yelling the droplets aerosolize, and then everyone infects everyone else.
Also his timeline is off. If those millions of teachers all get their first shot in mid December, their second in mid January, then their immunity will take effect in mid February. And that depends on exquisite coordination.
Do what they need to make school safe as they can for our children. Then I will send my kids back to school.
My kids are doing fine. School hasn’t been open since March. All of my friends’ kids are fine. Definitely seems harder for the only child, but it’s not too much different from summer break. They can still play outside and see a few friends here and there. My kids will always remember these times, but they won’t have PTSD from it. Give me a break.
We should be more worried about how parents are coping.
Truthfully? His idea has a great deal of Merit. Let’s hope Joe Biden is listening. Granted, the health care workers are super important, as well as the people that have underlying conditions. But the next, should come definitely, the teachers, and then the students. I agree with this guy. And my kids are already adults.😊
But there is good news, the poor neighbor schools don’t have to be afraid of the psycho cop’s in the schools !
Can the USA afford to wait for a regulated Trump departure – or does he need to be gone now ? Do the right thing – the life you save may be your own or that of someone close to you!
