No one is saying online learning was super effective for K students. But if parents literally did nothing additional for all of last year, while knowing virtual was ineffective, that’s on them.[/quote]

Perhaps you can come up with things parents could have done or should be doing, to make this all work out?

I have a friend who is a nurse, with 3 kids, 8th grader, 5th grader, and K.  All through the pandemic, she has been working, often long hours.  Her husband works overnight, so that someone is home most of the time, but obviously, in between work, they have to do things like chores and sleeping.  Since dad sleeps during the day, he is unable to supervise anyone.  Oldest kid was in 8th grade.  Self sufficient.   He was responsible for making sure that the K kid was logged on, but that was about the extent of what he could do, because he can't do his schooling and supervise the K kid.  Obviously, the kid learned nothing all last year.  No idea how the little one is doing this year, but I'm assuming that he is among the kids that is behind.[/quote]

They could have worked with the little one every day on the basics.  Zero excuse.  [/quote]

Yeah, sure.  When one parent works 7 - 7, and the other one leaves home at 9 and isn't back until 7 in the morning, that leaves plenty of time to spend teaching the basics to a 5 year old that has spent the day on zoom classes.  [/quote]
