[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]

The article in today's post shows learning loss was the same in southern states that reopened early so the whole virtual learning scapegoating is nonsense.[/quote]

I find these articles lacking and I wonder why others aren't asking more questions.  For example, southern states weren't the only ones that opened in fall 2020- plenty of blue state districts in the NE opened at least in hybrid style.  I'd be curious how performance within a state- since the districts would presumably using the same state tests- varied based on whether the schools opened or remained virtual.

Also, whether staying virtual was the right decision should be based on more than drops in reading and math scores.  But I'm not surprised that scores dropped even in areas that reopened in fall 2020.  Spring 2020 was kind of a joke across the board and even where schools reopened, many families elected a virtual option or were subject to multiple 14 day quarantines.  Some areas were more "normal", yes, but it still wasn't 2019-style normal.[/quote]
