+1 I don't think past years can predict what they are doing in the future here. MCPS has signaled that covid learning losses are going to mean fewer kids in 4/5 next year.

My first grader seems to have easily made up for the lost ground in K already and would expect their experience is fairly normal...They're exactly where their sibling was going into 2nd who is currently in MS and that wasn't true a year ago. You guys overhype these issues. Kids are far more resilient than you think.

That's funny. Your kid is a first grader. Come back when they're in 4th +

My 6th grader also is doing fantastic. In fact there a dozen points over the 99th percentile every standardized test. The PP was right. The problem wasn't distance learning but checked out parents.

Sure, sweetie. With grammar like yours I’m sure it’s all you and your investment in THEIR education. All those lazy sacks who had to work full time didn’t do THEIR part.

NP here. If you are correcting her grammar for saying "THERE a dozen points over", THEIR is not the right word to use either.

A cool year off in person school and the sanctimonious privileged moms are still here bragging about how their superior parenting helped their kids succeed.

Zoom school was a disaster for almost all kids. My kids managed to thrive academically on Zoom, but not socially. My youngest developed anxiety and depression (DCUM blamed this on me, not the global pandemic and lack of social interaction). Other kids struggled academically with or without strong parental support. Many parents do not have the resources to teach their kids and work and that’s ok. I personally didn’t, but my kids got along just fine, but that’s not the case for all, or even many. Zoom school is not even appropriate for most kids under the age of ten.

Perhaps we could try to under stand a little more and stop pushing our own assumed superiority on to others.

Silly! Because there are a bunch of overly anxious parents here wondering if their precious little DD is going to stay in the UMC or gasp, is rather ordinary and may not make it in the current meritocracy. This is just one of those hoops through which they'll judge their kids and their frenemies' kids over the next decade or so on the way to getting into a "top tier" college.

I'm fine with people who are into supporting their children. What bothers me is the selfish fools who refuse to take any personal responsibility. So many people were so self-absorbed and ignoring their kids that entire year that is no surprise they didn't learn anything. A neighbor kid DC knows said he could hear him playing video games during class even and their parents let that go on so it's no shock they're behind now.

Parents that did next to nothing but never stop blaming everyone else are what tires me out too.

And how do you possibly know which of the kids who are struggling (academically, socially emotionally or another way) have supportive parents and which are parented by self absorbed fools? Answer: you don’t. You have no idea what struggles go on inside another household and you are a selfish sanctimonious b$&!? if you think that being an involved caring parent solves all problems, particularly during a pandemic.

It is much easier to make up for losses in kindergarten!!!

One of the worst things about DCUM is that it skews white, rich and toward parents of younger kids, which means you get both absolute blindness to race/class challenges AND you get folks who think they have parenting all figured out because their 5 year-old is doing great.

+2 MCPS started this reduction at the end of the distance learning year.
