[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For a few years now we’ve been talking about children who have extensive absences from school. This has come up with regard to DCPS passing and graduation rates, but the circumstances apply to many school districts. The kids who are no-showing for distance learning are, by and large, the same children who had 20-30 absences during in-person learning. It’s not distance learning that’s causing this. Rather, these families face issues like trauma, poor parental supervision, teens needing to work to supplement income, etc.

I know many are searching for reasons to blame school systems and teachers for the challenges of distance learning. But this is not unique to online school at all.[/quote]

This, it was the same situation before.  The other big difference is parents could more easily check out and didm't really know what was going on as they let the schools handle it.  With kids at home, you can see it more.  This really has nothing to do with DL.[/quote]

Did you even read the article? The educators quoted state that this is DL and they want kids back because they are worried about the loss of education due to DL. In other words, it's worse than pre-covid.

I don't understand this compulsion to deny the deleterious impact of DL on vulnerable student populations. It is documented at this point. This is not debatable.[/quote]

Stop using your fluff news to push your agenda of forcing kids back into the schools in person because you want your kids out of the home.  Many of these kids had academic and school issues prior to covid where the school system and parents just ignored the problem.  Sending them back in person isn't going to fix it.  It will take that much more.

Many of the so called vulnerable choose to stay home as they are more vulnerable to covid and understand the real impact.  You may be a covid denier but for many of us who take it seriously, we will make DL work.

You never cared about these kids before so why pretend to care about them now?[/quote]
