Go look up and read about equity, achievement gap & remote learning and get back to me. I am tired of spoon feeding.”

So no one learns?[/quote]

Not PP, but they are arguing that those with a socioeconomic background that’s more poor tend to underperform their richer peers. So the gap widens.

It’s an interesting argument because Europe’s actually seen the opposite: it’s more of an equalizer. [/quote]

What has Europe done differently re education then? Or... is it that they're actually providing leave for caretakers to stay home with their kids?! SHOCKER![/quote]

Nothing different actually. The studies I’m referring to are older. It’s just they’ve seen a different result. The interesting this is actually that the kids who did experience significant disruption actually ended up statistically outperforming those who didn’t, controlling for income.

Not trying to say Europe is for sure better (although it probably is), just that not all data would support the idea that the gap gets bigger during distance learning. [/quote]

I'm interested in this topic. Can you please share the studies you're talking about? Because if they're looking at planned distance learning, that's very very different than triaged distance learning. High quality distance learning can be amazing.

I'm hoping that closing early is an acknowledgement that we're not getting high quality distance learning and that the time is being used to prepare for next year. Hoping.[/quote]
