[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Um, this is going to be an issue for more than just Kindergarten. There will be a large number of kids that will be held back throughout elementary school because they lost so much learning time and/or could not do distance learning. The education system hasn't begun to confront the ramifications of 12-18 months without in-person learning. The impact goes well beyond Kindergarten though. [/quote] Not that likely. "Holding kids back" is not done much anymore, as the science doesn't support it being particularly useful and quite possibly detrimental. And even when large numbers of kids went without school from Katrina, they returned to school in the appropriate grade as though they had been in school. I am not commenting on whether it SHOULD be used this coming year, but I am saying that it probably will not be.[/quote]
