Instead of being in schools, we have lost kids for a significant amount of time to our streets, specifically to all the vice that goes on. Drug use and violence have been exacerbated. But do we drag that with us forward or do we learn from this and let it be a reminder of how important schools, and to a further extent, our employees are to the lives of our young people.

I think many educators are still waiting or forcing things to go back to before, instead of seeing this as an opportunity to imagine the world anew and the possibilities we have to make new differences to issues that have always been there, they may just be more transparent but these issues have always been there.

When we hear people talking they can’t wait for the pandemic to be over so we can get back to normal, but what is normal? Normal for some is peaches and cream and for others it’s hell and high water. America has been asking for change for decades. So much so, that a president ran his campaign on the word change itself. So the quote is saying that history has always given society a pandemic, which is a gateway for the change that people have been wanting and waiting for.

I'm not sure what the term "educational trauma" refers to in this question. If we are talking about symptoms or behaviors that we are observing in educational spaces due to the myriad traumatic events happening around us, one example is challenges with focusing and engaging in the classroom due to fear of catching COVID. If we are talking about trauma *inflicted by the educational system* on adults and students, well one example is the district not providing sufficient safety measures, which directly impacts the first example. When you have teachers calling sick-outs and district is responding with a hard line, this is not just intensification this is escalation towards an untenable situation.
