[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]JFC. Shred your pandemic excuse card. DCUM Moms are going to be on their walkers in nursing homes in 2073 toothlessly bleating “LeArNinG LoSs! EviL tEaChErS!! mY pOoR pAnDeMiC bAbIes!!!!”

Time to take some parental responsibility. Actually, the time for that was three years ago.

And I’m a parent, not a teacher, so don’t bother with the predictable clapback.[/quote]

No the PP is right. I have a 12th grader who went through the college process this year. Colleges couldn't care less about pandemic learning loss - academics and GPA matter enormously, particularly in this test-optional world, and if you can't keep up, you don't get into the colleges you want, period. The kids who could not take AP exams, or who had low AP scores, or missed out on instruction and whose GPAs were lowered the year after when they realized they'd missed a key part of math, for example, were NOT given passes by the admissions officers. We tutored the heck out of my high schooler, so he was alright, but others are not that lucky.

So buck up and deal with it.
