Some believe that educational institutions should not reopen if infection rates are high in the state. And if they drop, teachers and parents should be vigilant for symptoms of the virus. Other than that, an expert says the mental effect of lockdown on children varies. Some had a rosy experience, while some advanced.
A mother of three from Buckinghamshire reported her children s behavior has deteriorated, having more tantrums and challenges at bedtimes. Her son used to walk to school every day but now has no motivation to go out.
Another Mom of 4 boys said her eldest changed so much. He doesn t go out for a walk anymore, while her nine-year-old hates inside since he hasn t been socializing with his friends anymore. Meanwhile, her six-year-old feels like it s going to be his first day at school once more.

Many teachers seem to be reconsidering how they rate their students schoolwork in light of the pandemic. Anxiety and a general sense of imminent doom have been plaguing children. Teachers realize this and change their standards to encourage students to resubmit work and retake tests as needed.
A staff writer for Scary Mommy, Kristen Mae, wrote Schools Should Absolutely Allow Kids To Resubmit Work And Retake Tests, where she shared that her 14-year-old son would now retest and retake assignments. The ability to retake tests and assignments up to three times is immediately integrated into the program, and she has seen the effect on her children.
