And I'm in a really small school, so I know these kids very, very well.
And the kids who are sharing that with me were extremely successful socially.
They were kids who had plenty of friends who
who were very well liked.

And I think that is because of the pandemic in large part.
So in some ways, the feeling of being other the feeling of being excluded that maybe differently wired kids feel all of the time, and others feel less of the time right now that playing field might be a little bit more even than those kids imagine.

So there's going to be a broad spectrum of how kids feel about coming back to school.
But I think more kids than you might imagine are going to come back with low motivation.
And that's for a lot of reasons.
Part of it is that overtaxed nervous system.
