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).

[b]Learning loss is very real and well-documented.[/b]

A) it’s a pandemic. Chill. 
B) learning loss much more preferred over lives lost
C) last scenario of this kind was 100 years ago. Again, chill. Your Larla will be fine. [/quote]

I don't think my child will be fine.  He is depressed the point of talking about suicide.  Our DL is literally unbearable - hours of narrated slide shows and then hours of homework that is extremely tedious in nature.  As for learning loss, he hasn't been taught even half the math concepts he was supposed to be taught at this point in the year, but he's still expected to test into the advanced math class next year or they won't let him take it.  [/quote]
I'm sorry, but if your child is threatening to commit suicide, you should have him hospitalized. A school is not a psychiatric facility and teachers are not mental health providers. [/quote]
