[quote=Anonymous]I think virtual learning is being over emphasized as a cause for watered down curriculum. I browse the teaching subreddit and it's both depressing and enlightening. Things that seem to have led to watered down academics: -emphasis on closing the gap (but watering material down so that it seems like it's closing) -pressure from higher ups to pass most kids -kids are very rarely held back a grade even if they have not mastered content -kids can now self-select to go into Honors and AP classes. Before you need recommendations from teachers. That means that Susie who barely passed Algebra I can still pick Honors Geometry, etc. So it's hard for teachers to maintain the rigor -screens, screens, and more screens -parents do not hold their kids accountable -too much time spent on discipline not enough on academics -teaching to standardized tests Who benefits? Not any of the kids. Not teachers. Maybe whoever stands to benefit from a dumb populace? [/quote]
