Pandemic continues to hurt Hawaii public school students’ grades, attendance - HawaiiEV - 04-20-2022
As expected, time to end the mask mandate at school.

The title is wrong, should read pandemic policy’s hurt children, not the pandemic.

Both the pandemic and resultant policies have hurt children. Thousands of kids nationwide have lost parents and grandparents to the disease.
I agree that the mask mandate should be ended in schools.

Child abuse way up for 2021, consequence of lockdown on children?

Fifty-two percent of young adults in a recent survey reported experiencing feelings of depression and hopelessness.

Neither of the last two sources you cite has anything to do with masks.

I'd be depressed too if I was facing a lifetime of work ahead of me with:
1. Wages buying way less than it did 5, 10, 20 years ago.
2. The end of company pension plans.
3. No match of 401k contributions by employers.
4. Social Security constantly being threatened (Note they call it an "Entitlement" when they want to get rid of it)
5. Corporate profits at record levels, wages not even close to keeping up, with no end in sight.
6. What looks like the end of democracy as we know it.
For once I'm glad I'm "old".

Could any of it have something to do with Covid lockdowns? Kids out of school, parents losing jobs, trillions of dollars printed. Sometimes he solution is worse then the problem. I agree with Chas it’s only going to get worse and unfortunately nobody seems to understand the things they believed in made it so, no doubt they will continue since they are unwilling to see error. I hope Josh green doesn’t win.

Oligarchy and wealth concentration were well in-hand before COVID.
Don't just "hope" Green doesn't win -- actively campaign against him, or better yet, move to a more functional State.

True, this is not one party vs the other they are the same and have been executing on their plan for decades, Covid was just one more tool for solidifying their power and control. I am actively campaigning against green, he is drunk with power, as is Ige.

Did you read the story? Kids weren’t “locked down” in 2021, they were back in school.
They said numbers were up from previous year due to better reporting with the return of in person classes.
