[quote=Anonymous]Some of what we are seeing is definitely remnants of the pandemic and the failure of online learning. But that does not count for the abysmal reading scores we are seeing in grades K-3. Last year nearly a quarter of my kindergarteners met the criteria to suggest retention. This year it's looking like more. The attention issues I am seeing are a major stumbling block to their learning. Kids spend too much time watching screens and not enough thinking, interacting, and responding. Both schools and families are contributing to this with the amount of time kids spend on screens. I can tell parents until I am blue in the face that their kindergartener doesn't need a phone and certainly shouldn't be watching YouTube in bed all night, but I am not in charge there. And my district sets the screen time at school, not me; if my kids don't get their minutes in the programs, it's my head. I feel like I'm in the middle of a slow motion train wreck.[/quote]
