This is incredibly frustrating to read. Among students, the relevance of this topic - mental health issues spiking do to online curriculum - is painfully obvious. And yes, we are balancing this against the realized danger/negative health consequences of the pandemic.

I understand that this is anecdotal, but it seems that large, robust data sets are not convincing for you.

From what perspective are you writing? Do you have children in school? Do you feel that rising suicidality correlates with a broader issue that suggests some amount of increased suffering in the larger population?

> compared to what children had to deal with during previous social upheavals

Are you saying that we can't aspire to manage crises better than some historical bar? Why does this comparison appear here?

I am genuinely curious, and I hope you understand that my questions are genuine. I just rarely come across a comment that so confidently disagrees with things that are extremely obvious to me. Cheers
