I mean, that's just three that come up quickly.  There have been reports from local school districts about higher failure rates, for example.[/quote]

The first study is a year old and what they think will happen

Second study source has an agenda "EdSurge delivers insights and connects those exploring how technology can support equitable opportunities for all learners." I'm not saying they aren't always right and this isn't true but I always look for a second source.  I've used them for work to prove points not to prove facts.

Third study wasn't done right. Its only one county in California and 1/4 of the student didn't take the test so you can't prove anything other than they didn't take the test. I will be pulling my kids from testing for the next two years. I'm very pro testing but we need a reprieve of the hours and hours of testing to have kids do remediation, socialize, relax, etc.

I am not saying there isn't a slide in learning but I agree with the other poster to use the right terminology. Regression vs. loss vs. slow learning.[/quote]
