Applications down 21% on myschooldc

[Anonymous]

It's easy for me to see how much ground my 3rd and 5th grader lost in DL, and how they're only catching up now they're back at school full-time for Term 4.

The 5th grader was able to return to school full-time after Thanksgiving, in a classroom taught by a teacher, because he has an IEP. At that stage, in-school assessments revealed that he was reading behind grade level in both reading and math. Five months of full-time school later and assessments recently revealed that he's more than a year ahead of grade level in reading and back on track in math. We were hiring on-line tutors and supervising a lot of work/homework ourselves during the DL phase, but none of it was working very well. My kids learn much better in front of teachers in classrooms with peers than without. That's it, that's all.

You wish, closet Republican who hates DC.

Instead, your party is hemorrhaging votes elsewhere as cities continue to grow and resist GOP anti-intellectualism and anti-democracy efforts.

What part of "applications are down 21 percent" do you not understand?

Not to point out the obvious, but it's DC that has banned children from going to school. Schools in the vast majority of the rest of the country are completely opened. In many red states, schools never closed during the pandemic.

A child in Alabama is going to have a full year more of school than a same-aged child in DCPS. Which means your child is going to get smoked by that kid in Alabama when it comes time for standardized tests.

And in many red states a lot of people died. So what’s your point

I think you are a teenager who is bored. Kudos to you

Btw Alabama has different standards than DC. In some red states you can’t say climate change by law in the schools. Getting an A at one of those schools is like getting a C at Banneker

Loads of friends posting acceptance day photos and no one has an Alabama school. Go figure.

Clearly that's a comfortable position for you to take, but Alabama is actually opening magnate schools rather than scale them back.

So what? If you are so enamored with Alabama move there.

We know DCPS kids have had learning loss but you are some kid of time share salesman for Alabama at this point.

I have 2 friends who went to the Alabama School of Mathematics (public boarding school). Super smart people, very accomplished.

I am all for ILP- but those data points seem... well... like outliers.

One test should never determine a students standing.

So while it might be a nice narrative that he has grown over a year in reading since thanksgiving... what is likely true is that he had skills he was not using, that were rusty and being back in IPL has done a lot of great things for your student.. Including academic growth. Just not like 1.5 years since November.

Every school has data about learning loss. Parents should be demanding it be released. Why wouldn't you want to know? Children are the biggest losers in DC's refusal to reopen schools. We should know how big of hole we've put them in.

Wait, are PPs truly taking the position there had been no significant loss of learning across educational cohorts in DL? That is an astonishing level of gaslighting.

there is one poster who believes if you don’t name the specific school you’re lying and have an “agenda.”

Still not data sent by a school.

Where is the data from a school?

Yes if you don’t provide that you were lying in your original post to prove a point.

Where do your children of child go to school?

This troll obviously doesn’t have kids, he’s probably the one social worker on Twitter whose handle is “learning loss is a lie” ok buddy you keep right on believing that, you’re doing great!

And there appears to be an entire DCUM community who completely misunderstands proper use of the word "gaslighting". Someone who disagrees with you isn't gaslighting. Someone who interprets data in a different way isn't gaslighting.

what data are you interpreting? you mean the DCPS stats from Dec? Or in general you don’t think there is any learning loss?
