Now that this COVID nonsense is (hopefully) coming to a close, has anyone else seen an increase in participation/school spirit in your school or your kid's school? Ever since the restrictions have been lifted, football and soccer games have been packed, kids have been participating in spirit week, the student section at games has swelled in size, homecoming is seeing record attendance this year, etc etc. Anyone else seeing this phenomenon?
Often you don’t appreciate something until it’s no longer available.
I heard from a parent that his teen daughter had basically locked herself in her room for the past year but as soon as school started in person this she is back to herself. Joining clubs, etc. I'm guessing there are a lot of stories like this.
I think this just shows that periodic shutdowns are a good thing. The environment improved during lockdown. People are now happier about the things they have. Other illnesses like influenza were at all time lows as a result of COVID precautions.
We should take a lesson from this and make shutdowns a scheduled thing. Not often, but say every 4 years we just all take a few months to stay home and take a break from it all.

i can't tell if this is serious or not. Scheduled shutdowns? So kids can fall behind and be depressed every 4 years?
Novelty effect from a long stretch of boredom? Who knew.
