Not All Children Are Thriving: We Know That

I recently encountered a post by a Head of School who suggested all the positives of being quarantined for him and the children and families in his school.  I know I am preaching to the choir here but I wanted folks to see what I wrote.  We need to stomp out the perception that children are all enjoying time at home -- as if they were experiencing an extended snow day.  I get silver linings. They do exist, including for trauma. But for a head of school to write what he wrote suggests to me that many educators are literally seeing only a wee segment of the students populating schools in our nation.  Perhaps I am tainted by the school where I spend time: 100% free and reduced lunch (and breakfast).

Thoughts welcomed.  And, if I am way off, share that too.
