[quote=Anonymous][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]

Why don’t you ask why the school systems didn’t actually design an efficient and workable version of remote learning ? It is THEIR “plan” (ie no plan/ just do school like always on a computer ).

They set teachers and kids up to fail. That was THEIR choice and lack of real planning and action and innovation. Then when kids didn’t do well, they said “as punishment everyone goes back in IN THE PEAK.” I really wonder how many teachers yall think will be left after this year. [/quote]
