I feel you on the whining parents. I feel the same about other whining. I mean, basically right now, we're in a "STAY INSIDE OR FACE POSSIBLE DEATH" kind of thing, not to be overly dramatic. Jebus. So the kids miss half a year of school. It's HALF A YEAR. It's not their lives.

Also, since ALL the kids are going to be off the same amount, more or less, what's the big deal. "Falling behind" as compared to what?
