Hyperinflation has very little to do with the situation we're in (it's basically always the result of a government being forced at gunpoint to pay off a debt to an external creditor), but I guess that's a little too complicated for middle school

If the price of everything doubles, and my wages go up by 1.8x, I'd come out well ahead - my mortgage wouldn't double! Sure, a lot of very rich people with a lot of assets would lose a lot of value, but they'd still be pretty rich afterwards. Let that money printer go brrr!

Do you understand why we had multiple actual riots and insurrections in US history explicitly and openly demanding inflation? Because the people in those riots were net debtors, as has always been common for the working class (especially farmers)?
