Are your SCHOOL-AGED KIDS thrilled about not having to go to school with this coronavirus outbreak?

Question

Just genuinely curious. Are they thrilled about school closing?? Or are they sad about not seeing their friends?

Answer

My 10 and 7 year olds were so excited at first, but now realizing staying home all day everyday is borrrringgg.
Thankfully the weather is semi decent right now in Washington so they can go outside on the trampoline.

Answer

I have high schoolers.  They’re stressed.  Not sure how they’re going to get the work done for their credits - and be able to move on to the next level, especially for their AP and Honors classes because they have to pass tests to get their college credits.  I think they’d be happy for a normal break but this is just a lot of anxiety.

Answer

My 9 year old stepson was excited when it was just supposed be 2 weeks but then the next day got bumped up to 6 weeks out & I think he’s starting to get anxious about the change in routine, he’s got ADHD & Generalized Anxiety so routines are a big deal for him, I’m planning on posting on the wall a daily schedule so he can somewhat know what to expect 
I don’t think my 3 year old daughter really understands she’s not going to see all her preschool friends for awhile but she’s definitely been more whiny & having more tantrums just sensing how out of sorts we all are (not to mention she used to go hang out w/ my mom & dad at least once a week but my mom is 74 & my dad is 82 so we’ve been keeping her away from them since they’re more at risk)

Answer

My high school seniors are honestly so upset. I feel for them so bad. They are missing out on all of their “lasts” like their last prom, classes, being with friends, track seasons, choir competitions, and different high school memories before going to college. I know that a lot of them are distressed and disappointed. 
I’m student teaching right now as a senior in college and even I’m disappointed. I am missing out on my last’s, making memories, presenting my research at a conference I worked so hard to be at, and maybe even graduation. It’s such a hard time.

Answer

Reminder: school closing does not mean Snow day. To properly socially isolate, do not allow friends to visit.

Answer

I have a kindergartener and today he said he feels like he "won the lottery" 😂😂😂😂😂

Answer

I’m not in high school, and I’m currently not enrolled in any classes. I did have a meeting set up to speak with someone about possible majors considering I really have no idea what I want to do, I just want to be in school. 
My friends are currently taking all their classes online and either locked up in their dorms or living with their parents 
Some of the girls I work with are high school seniors and they’re pissed, and rightfully so. They’re missing out on all their lasts. 
Honestly kids would have been safer if schools stayed open. Now people are traveling more and the older kids will be partying more. Unless parents are strictly enforcing no contact and staying home, there’s still the same amount of contact if not more.
