because of online school learning
50% of seniors gradating from high school this year will only have 6.5 years of education.
in 6 years from now they will only have a KINDERGRADEN education.
Kids don't learn anything online. 70% of 5th grades don't know basic math skills because schools shutdown
50% of 5th graders are 60% of 4th graders don't know colors or abcs. 50% of 3rd graders don't even know how to use scissors and the other half don't know English or Spanish.
I am not sure what we are going to do for the next 12 years.
its so sad
it going to take 8 years for kids to have a real education.

AND LET TALK about how immature kids are now anyone under 22 are still acting their age they were when they in 2020.
so 18 year old are still acting 14
and 10 year old are acting like they are 5 or 6
and 16 year old are acting like they are 11 or 12. so its scary to see them drive.
who else thinks this is okay? let hope they start maturing soon- if not they will be in their 20s acting like they are tween or teens.

Schools were not shut down, they were virtual. And, if your kids didn't do virtual school that was on you. If your kids don't have basic schools and you didn't work with them, that's on you. 3rd graders were not really impacted by covid. This isn't a covid issue.

I know you live on a special bubble, but many of us have to work during the day.

And are you forgetting how long PEP was effectively shut down?

If you want to understand why people have not been sympathetic to your cause, this post is a very good illustration of why. Not only do you refuse to acknowledge the negative consequences of virtual learning for many students, you continue to attack parents that were placed in impossible situations.

I understand you're upset about losing MVA, but the reality is that you and your child are going to be less impacted by that than the 160,000 students were when MCPS closed schools.

You can't even get through a complete paragraph correctly, so I'm not taking your advice on education.

PEP is a different program and not part of the discussion. Many of us work and still managed just fine. Why couldn't you? You are talking about 3rd graders barely impacted. Covid is not the reason why kids are struggling. The changes in the school system, curriculum and lack of parent support are bigger issues.

Yawn, get off social media and help your kids. Simple. Stop blaming covid.

How has that attitude worked for you and your SaveTheMVA movement?

Leaving out that *you* don't actually work at all, much less work out of the home.

Pep was virtual. And the program reopened in person in 2021

Maybe if you had spend the time helping your kids vs posting here and using the free resources like tutoring it could have worked for your kids. Plenty of people worked and figured it out, why can’t you! What are your kids doing now not in school?

Based on the academic outcomes, people couldn't "figure it out." At least, not without substantial loss of learning.

I would think someone with your background and experience would understand that some kids cannot learn without substantial supports that can't be provided by the school virtually. It's great that you were able to quit your job to provide those supports to your child with special needs, but not everyone is that privileged.
