[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It might be useful to watch the posted video, where the people analyzing the data tried to take into account the different circumstances in testing this year (compared to last year).

I'm not denying the experience that people have watching their children not test well because it's through a computer, etc.  Certainly that is something that is happening.  But researchers know this is happening, and apparently are discussing ways to try to control for it.  For example, in the video the researcher speaking notes that they only included 50% of the test scores obtained this year, as there were issues with the other 50%.

It is possible to still do research with imperfect data.  Indeed, with such an important issue, it feels necessary to not just throw up our hands and pretend we can't try to analyze this as much as possible.

This. The argument that we should disregard this because the data aren’t perfect is just as stupid as the argument that there is no problem with DL because school wasn’t perfect before Covid either.[/quote]
