[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The good news is that if you were able to afford private, you have the resources to provide her a lot of OG supplement this year.  You can use both the school's OG through her IEP, and private tutoring to shore up the time/tutoring needed, to help her catch up.  Crossing fingers that with the extra in-depth training she'll receive and the techniques she'll learn, she will catch up quickly.

The good news is that there will be quite a few kids behind this coming school year due to spending 1st grade virtually, so she won't be the only one by a long stretch.  This whole upcoming school year will be spent trying to catch up the kids that were greatly affected by the pandemic.  [/quote]

The research is very clear: retention doesn’t make a difference. You might see some nominal gains in the first year, but by the third year, they’re gone. What’s more important is putting the interventions in place. Retention is not an effective intervention. It feels good in the moment, but it’s impact doesn’t last.[/quote]
