[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

Relocated to a southern state. Schools were open. Kids excelled.[/quote]

Turns out that was a waste of time and money.

Thanks for posting a credible source instead of that fake PR piece the other poster is pushing.

[quote]“We kept schools open in 2020, and today’s NAEP results once again prove we made the right decision,” Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) said on Twitter.

But the data did not establish a connection between back-to-school policies and academic performance. In California, for instance, many public schools were closed well into the 2020-21 school year, and some students never saw a classroom that year. But th[b]e declines were similar to those in Texas and Florida, where schools were ordered to reopen much sooner[/b][/quote]

[i]The declines registered were particularly troubling given that American academic performance was already shaky.[b] In early 2020, before the pandemic upended schools, NAEP test scores in both reading and math declined for 13-year-old students, the first drop registered since the tests started to be administered in 1969[/b].[/i]

Pandemic made things worse but America was already failing.

I am an Asian-American parent. When I complain about the low standards in American schools, I am doing it out of  concern because I have first hand knowledge of what is happening in my Asian country of origin and America - the country I have chosen to immigrate to.  I would want US to do well because I am now an American citizen and so are my children.  However, any complaint is seen as a critisicm.  It should instead  be seen as intel that various immigrant groups are bringing to USA. Lets use the information to bring best educational practices, best curriculum, best teaching aids and best textbooks to the US.  Why is this so hard?[/quote]

This is the real issue.  [/quote]
