[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nah. There's an election this year. Full-time virtual is not going to happen.[/quote]

If it gets bad, most people will want virtual school. This was always the most popular position for parents and teachers. Only a minority of very vocal crazies stamped their feet and demanded in-person schooling.[/quote]

God youre privileged. Distance learning was an abject failure for poor and underprivileged kids. Not everyone has access to nannies and pods or whatever [/quote]

Funny then how the privileged were the ones screaming for in person school! [/quote]

Both sides of the open school debate roll out the "poor, poor minorities" when it suits their argument. We can speak for themselves and want to be left out of white people's fights. In actuality, we as a group didn't agree ourselves and there were many who chose school and distance learning.

Thanks for coming to my TedTalk.[/quote]

"The problem with remote school is that children learn vastly less than they do in person, according to a wide range of data about the past year and a half.

Rand Corporation, a research group, found that students attending remote classes learned less English, math and science than students attending in-person school.

An analysis by Opportunity Insights, a group based at Harvard, found that student achievement lagged with remote learning — and lagged the most for lower-income students.

A study in the Netherlands found that “students made little or no progress while learning from home.”

Individual teachers also say they notice the difference. As Meghan Hatch-Geary, a decorated high school English teacher in Connecticut, told Education Week, her students who struggled the most last year were those who remained fully remote."
