[quote=Anonymous]Rather than twitter analysis, I'll go with peer-review published research:

https://www.pnas.org/doi/full/10.1073/pnas.2022376118
"We use a natural experiment that occurred as national examinations in The Netherlands took place before and after lockdown to evaluate the impact of school closures on students’ learning. The Netherlands is interesting as a “best-case” scenario, with a short lockdown, equitable school funding, and world-leading rates of broadband access. Despite favorable conditions, we find that students made little or no progress while learning from home. Learning loss was most pronounced among students from disadvantaged homes."

Or maybe World Bank analysis reviewing multiple studies:

https://blogs.worldbank.org/developmenttalk/covid-19-school-closures-fueled-big-learning-losses-especially-disadvantaged
"Online education is an imperfect substitute for in-person learning, particularly for children from low-income families. Early systematic reviews based on limited data from high-income countries suggest large learning losses and increased learning inequality."

Or this research from Harvard cited by NPR:
https://www.npr.org/2022/06/22/1105970186/pandemic-learning-loss-findings
"Even students who spent the least amount of time learning remotely during the 2020-21 school year — just a month or less — missed the equivalent of seven to 10 weeks of math learning, says Thomas Kane of the Center for Education Policy Research at Harvard University."
