[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Europe can afford to go back to virtual because so many of their kids have been in-person. That means there is less urgency to get back because the mental health and learning loss are much lower than here. We should have been back from the start so we could build in breaks during surges.

I'm pushing back on claims of learning loss.

What data do you have to show that virtual schooling results in learning loss?  Has it ever been tried before in the US to this extent?[/quote]

And followup question:   what data do you have to show that learning loss with hybrid/concurrent teaching is less than with all virtual?

Have there been any studies done or are people just making assumptions?[/quote]

This might be seen as anecdotal but here goes:  I teach HS.  We are over a month behind our normal curriculum because we have less class time.  Therefore my students are not going to learn as much but will still have that credit on their transcript.  Also until we can assess students not at home, there is no way to tell if they are learning the same content.  There is rampant cheating and open notes on every assessment.  But we will not finish the curriculum in my upper level HS classes this year.[/quote]
