[quote=Anonymous][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]

Since that study used a test given in Fall of 2020 (when kids in Ohio were back at school to take the test!) it measured the effect of "crisis schooling" that happened in the spring of 2020.

Crisis schooling happened with almost no preparation; and truly could be considered "no school" for many students.

It didn't measure this year's Distance Learning.[/quote]

You can't just pretend that the data will show what you want. We have past experience to guide us.[/quote]
