[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can we at least all agree, “mistakes were made.” ??[/quote] No because the "we did the best we could" crowd will apparently never admit that in fact, mistakes were made.[/quote] I still think the biggest mistake that we can learn from is how we remediate after a global crisis. In DCPS for example, they used ESSER funds for "high impact tutoring" which was essentially principals getting a little extra money in their budgets to create their own tutoring programs from scratch using already burnt out teachers to run the program. If there was ever a time to have put more bodies into schools, this was it.[/quote] We should also be prepared to shift or extend the school year if there is strong evidence of seasonality. If an unprecedented global pandemic necessitated closing schools, it should have also necessitated considering ways to mitigate educational and other losses. [/quote]
