[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Europe can afford to go back to virtual because so many of their kids have been in-person. That means there is less urgency to get back because the mental health and learning loss are much lower than here. We should have been back from the start so we could build in breaks during surges.

I'm pushing back on claims of learning loss.

What data do you have to show that virtual schooling results in learning loss?  Has it ever been tried before in the US to this extent?[/quote]

The school dropout rate of online schools is very high. Much higher than in person whether public or private.[/quote]

Where are the data showing that students who have been participating in full day distance learning since September have learning loss compared with children who have been attending in person instruction since September?

If students withdraw from school, that is a separate issue.  [/quote]

Our local public schools have been 100% virtual and are showing learning loss for the students who attend regularly.

Younger students are forgetting how to read and how to write.  I guess they'll just make it up next year.  Hopefully.  [/quote]

Data? I’m asking for data.

Not anecdotes.[/quote]

Sadly too many people here see what happens to their kid and assumes it happens to all.  I've seen one child who was behind my child in reading pass my kid in reading since September. He's ESL like my child and I think its the parents doing more daily with them than I am doing with mine.  That child also has older reading siblings so more readers to encourage and help.[/quote]
