[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a kid with ADHD too. DL is not the greatest, but it's tolerable. I do not think buildings should open right now and I am scratching my head at all this sudden concern from the Open Up Now crowd for children with "special needs."[/quote]

The data is pretty hard to ignore, and should be of concern to everyone.  My question is why aren’t the virtual-only advocates concerned?

[quote]This year, the percentage of English-language learners and students with disabilities earning Es increased by 11 and 6.2 percentage points, respectively, [Duran] said.

Among racial and ethnic groups, the percentage of Hispanic and Black English-language learners in secondary grades earning Es increased by 15 and 7 percentage points, respectively, he said.

Economically-disadvantaged students were also hard-hit, according to the report. Last year, 10.3% of economically disadvantaged high schoolers received Es, compared with 17.5% this year. In middle school, the percentage grew from 4% last year to 11% this year.

Meanwhile, white children registered smaller increases in failing grades: 1.4% of middle-schoolers earned Es this year, compared to 0.6% last year, while 3% of high-schoolers earned Es this year, compared to 1.6% last year, according to the report.[/quote]
