I cringe for next year's teachers trying to cater to the kids who kept up with the work simultaneously with those whose parents told Twitter to f-off instead (on top of the normal differentiation required). 1st grade is a _great_ age to fall behind in maths and never catch up.

If you genuinely believe children will turn into adults who cannot add or multiply because their parents let them skip a half year of Zoom calls, I think your intuitions are absolutely absurd. School stunts these poor kids. Look at a 1st grade math curriculum. Christ.

I taught myself reading, I taught myself English, I taught myself programming. I’m still not sure what I was supposed to learn at school.

Does this have implications for education after physical distancing is over?

A large part of adult life is people trying to recreate / continue their university / high school experience... maybe it extends even lower than that.
