I had a 1st grader for virtual school and it was not terrific.  She went into 2nd grade significantly behind.  But so did the majority of her classmates.  Last year she basically did 1st and 2nd grade combined.  I think this year there is still some catching up on writing.  Her reading was drastically behind grade level at the start of 2nd grade, but now she's above grade level.  Her school addressed it all, there was intervention plans etc.

She was missing foundational things, which were corrected and clicked quickly once she got that attention.  I can see with older kids if you missed something, it might not be covered again.

Also, the "standards" for each grade are made up by us humans.  They are not ordained by God.  We can and should have done a better job adjusting things for a few years while ground was made up instead of sending kids right back onto the path to be whizzed along at a break neck pace of learning.

It was a global catastrophe. I feel like we sometimes forget that when discussing "learning loss".  [/quote]
