[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have no doubt that there is a loss of learning due to the pandemic and virtual learning. Im just curious as to what some of you would have done differently? I mean going virtual was the only option at a time. Our kids are alive. Not saying they didn’t pay a price, of course, but what’s here is here .[/quote]

What a joke.[/quote]

Relocated to a southern state. Schools were open. Kids excelled.[/quote]

That I doubt. Southern states’ public schools generally lag way behind the rest of the nation.[/quote]

+1,000. If you’re actually comparing to the bulk of “Southern states’ public schools” and not cherry picking my the wealthiest suburbs in Texas or Florida. [/quote]

DP but when DC people move south, we go to the rich areas.  Other, poorer school systems are as relevant as Baltimore is to you. We moved south and the schools are much better, by all objective measures. The fact that the schools in backwater Arkansas suck is irrelevant. [/quote]

Southern states are always at the bottom for public education at least by any objective measure, but whatever you got to tell yourself. Most of the right-wingnuts are already delusional.[/quote]

Yep, the worst states for education are overwhelmingly (but not exclusively) Southern...

41	       Arkansas
42	 	Oklahoma
43	 	Mississippi
44	 	South Carolina
45	 	West Virginia
46	 	Arizona
47	 	Alabama
48	 	Louisiana

You should really reread what I wrote.

Im not arguing that the south has better or even generally good schools. Im telling you that people who move from DC to the south and that report back that the schools are better are telling the truth. Like in the DC area, schools are divided by richer and poorer communities. That means that you can live in the south as a rich person with great public schools. Here, look at the national rankings of high schools. You'll note that while a few MoCo schools do well in the national rankings, they arent exactly dominating, and southern schools-- and AZ schools especially, which your ranking shows as among the worst-- do very well. https://www.usnews.com/education/best-high-schools/national-rankings[/quote]

Why would anyone waste time reading your inane gibberish? Everyone knows the sothern schools are the worst END of STORY![/quote]

Ah classic snobby DMV response. Can’t imagine anything outside of their preconceived notions.  Granted, my southern relatives also can’t see past their little corner of the world sometimes. Y’all aren’t different after all…..[/quote]
