[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]but....a lot of the problems now are caused by what happened last year.  I mean, there are ways to remedy this, but it's not happening.  Did you really think all those extra resources needed would happen?  It's not like there are even people to HIRE, even if the money was there.

[b](I remember having a convo last year, being shocked about everyone being good with the school closures, and people not realizing the repercussions it will have in the long term to public education)[/quote][/b]

Lol sure. The school closure was a good thing. You have no idea how many teachers would have just quit. There would not have been any “learning”. [/quote]

Oddly enough, many teachers are quitting now — after a year of virtual and an exhausting return-to-in-person year.  I wonder what the situation would be if school had remained in-person throughout?[/quote]

Good point. This year wouldn't have been so exhausting with learning loss and a sharp uptick in behavior and emotional issues if schools were open last year. [/quote]

I too came from that alternate reality so that I can speak definitively about what would have happened in a different and complex situation.

the alternate reality is that catholic & private schools remained open, and that countries like Sweden that never closed had zero learning loss. [/quote]

and private and catholic schools are also losing teachers, which is what this is about, poster who loves to talk about learning loss on every thread.[/quote]

No, they aren't.

What's wrong with talking about learning loss?  It's a documented problem that needs to be addressed.  It disproportionately hurts Black/poor kids.  Why would it be something we should sweep under the rug?[/quote]
