[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]BTW all these learning loss stories and "what about the children" are written to guilt women and I'm not having it.

You see this all the f'in time. Articles like "You must have a baby by 33 or your kid will have horns" "if you don't breast feed and work on your phone at the same time you won't be happy at 64".  Yes absurd but so are these clickbait articles.

The articles posted are written by a public equity expert and a lawyer.  The public equity expert is a guy who makes money setting up charters.

I'm not saying kids aren't losing out academically right now. I'm saying be wary of anything that trying to create a guilt, panic reaction in you.

Look at your kid. What does your kid need not what the studies say because none of these studies are long term, have the right sample of kids, etc. They are made by people who are selling consulting services to people who think there is money to be made in the pandemic or to justify their wfh job in a pandemic.

One of my kids needs art and play and being silly. The other kid need structure, focus, ability to hear no and be okay with it. Look at your kid.[/quote]

These are not clickbait articles. These are respected institutions.

There is peer-reviewed work out there: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.3102/0013189X20965918

If you can't tell the difference between this and buzzfeed, I don't know what to tell you.[/quote]
