At least I keep up with current events. I keep my eyes open.[/quote]

That, and some data, would provide me with the data I requested.[/quote]

Hi, education researcher here. There are not many final published reports out because it takes time to get the data and to get through the publication process. We are still in the middle of the pandemic and haven't completed a full year of DL. What we DO know about learning loss is mostly information from Hurricane Katrina. I encourage you to look through Google Scholar at data related to interrupted education resulting from Hurricane Katrina.

However, there are three specifically regarding COVID from non-profits that are respectable, and that we have been citing. They include:

Brookings: https://www.brookings.edu/blog/brown-center-chalkboard/2020/05/27/the-impact-of-covid-19-on-student-achievement-and-what-it-may-mean-for-educators/
NWEA: https://www.nwea.org/research/publication/the-covid-19-slide-what-summer-learning-loss-can-tell-us-about-the-potential-impact-of-school-closures-on-student-academic-achievement/
McKinsey (normally we would not use McKinsey, but this is good basic research): https://www.mckinsey.com/industries/public-and-social-sector/our-insights/covid-19-and-learning-loss-disparities-grow-and-students-need-help#:~:text=Students%20on%20average%20could%20lose,white%20students%20(Exhibit%206).

Learning loss is very real and well-documented.

Not impressed, “researcher”.

Learning loss after Katrina? When kids weren’t connected to a school and a teacher? Irrelevant.

The links you posted are all talking about disrupted education from the spring.

Since September, my school has been doing distance teaching every day with students who are all connected to teachers via a device. I am pushing back in the ASSUMPTION that these kids will not make expected progress. [/quote]
