[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]But some are not behind at all, making the gap huge. I feel badly for the ones not behind. It’s going to be a long year for them. Did some parents really do nothing for a year and a half?[/quote]

Are you serious?

Why yes, some parents did nothing.  Because some parents had jobs outside of their houses and left the kids home with older siblings.  That's just one mind blowing scenario for you.   You can probably think of some more.

Virtual school was a massive fail for this age group.   Kids this age who learned anything doing virtual school had a live human with them helping them.   And that was a privilege many people didn't have.[/quote]

And especially in this largely affluent area, many parents did nothing because they were Big Mad at teachers, washed their hands, said “not my job” and refused to sacrifice to help their kids in the many, many hours a week when the parents were not working at their Very Important Jobs, because it was more important for them to do what they wanted to do when they wanted to do it, and Netflix beat out working with your kid when you’re tired or on your day off.

Many parents did sacrifice their time, energy and some sleep and the difference in results is plain and totally predictable. Shrug.[/quote]
