      7/ Indeed. I'm not arguing that it's fun for everyone. I'm just arguing that most generations have far bigger trials. Did you get drafted and sent to fight the Germans? Sent to Korea? Sent to Vietnam? Forced to leave school and age 12 and work? no? https://twitter.com/GeoGDF01/status/1357388075903705089 …

      8/ exactly as I said, my contempt is for the adults who are framing a somewhat-necessary inconvenience as "cruel and unnecessary abuse", instead of telling their kids "yes, sometimes life is hard"https://twitter.com/robkroese/status/1357388952068620289 …

      My concern is that it's a ratcheting up of the extreme coddling that we've already been subjecting kids to. We're raising a generation of kids with no ability to tolerate adversity

      10/ yes my point is not "the policy was perfectly calibrated and well implemented". My point is "this is well within the bellcurve for even wealthy first world norms, and pretending it's not is snow-flake-ism" https://twitter.com/GeoGDF01/status/1357389430877741059 …

      11/ ...and this woe-is-me video from some kid that's going around. ...with the obligatory "watch the whole thing". I'm old enough (i.e. more than 6 months old) that I remember when it was the left tweeting stupid emo shit and saying "don't look away! don't look away!".

      12/ saying "being distanced from your friends for 12 months sucks, but it's not the worst thing in the world" has absolutely nothing to do with autism or introversion even if you love people, this is a temporary inconvenience https://twitter.com/TheAgeofShoddy/status/1357390828004663299 …

      13/ I remember my family moving from NJ to MS when I was 9. Lost my entire friend group overnight, made zero new friends in MS. Was lonely AF for 2 years. Went off to college, friends graduated, I was friendless for the last 1.5 years. Off to Boston, no friends for 2 yrs.

      14/ Life often sucks. People get targeted for physical attacks (middle school), social ostracism (other stages), suffer bankruptcies, severe loneliness, involuntary celibacy, heart break, divorce, deaths of loved ones It's all in the normal deck of cards This is w/i bellcurve

      Brother in law says he hasn't as even anyone outside of his family on almost a year. People who adhere to the narrative are terrified Meanwhile, I went to a huge Thanksgiving, multiple weddings, and multiple large events in that year. Progress, not even once.

          Unfortunately, the myth of progress has taught the modern world that any adversity, struggle or pain is a bug, and not a feature.

          18/ Keep repeating this made up talking point, which I've already explicitly disclaimed twice. It's good rhetoric, and it will convince people.https://twitter.com/upstatefederlst/status/1357392368845131776 …

          "Kids being forced to do the things I like doing is not that bad because I like doing them" is also a dumb take. Kids don't want to be in their house and away from other kids, we've forced them to do that for a year, and we'd recognize it as abusive in any other context.

          19/ Again this is drastically misunderstanding my point I'm saying that the loneliness and the sadness is real...but that NORMAL LIFE has a large degree of loneliness and sadness, and we're being asked to call a minor / typical inconvenience a war crime https://twitter.com/ITBeHa/status/1357392623938523136 …

          Yeah, the kids will be fine for the most part. I never trapped my kids in the house. They were allowed to roam the neighborhood, go fishing, etc. I drove them around when they were bored. (Our county has been opened since last summer thank goodness)

          That being said remote school is absolute shit for a very large chunk of the <18 population, I've seen the number of kids failing out who would previously been getting B's and C's, it's not pretty.
