[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Who wants to go to a selective college, how worried are you about the impact of DL on their SAT performance, especially in math?

I have a freshman n MCPS, and was very disheartened to hear the Algebra 2 teacher say at BTSN, they will be learning a lot less this year, but there is nothing we can do about it. Within MCPS, courses can be adjusted going forward to account for the content that wasn’t covered. But for purposes of SATs and ACTs,[b] kids doing DL for extended periods will definitely have less knowledge than those who are returning to in-person learning. [/b]I worry a lot about this for my kid. Am I the only one concerned? Am I thinking about this wrong?

I do worry that our kids are learning less, but when I look at hybrid or in person plans I've seen from other schools, those kids will clearly be learning less too.  Classes are shortened to allow for socially distanced transitions, or happening less frequently, or have distractions due to kids livestreaming (depending on which option your school picks).  There will be disruptions as classes open and close, and more subs than usual, and social distancing won't allow any coaching or small group work (things that are easier to do on line than they were pre-Covid)  So your worries about the competition are not accurate.

There are plenty of online options for developing your kids' math skills.  Use those.
