[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Like...Brookings? What's your problem with Brookings?

And that article I just linked about discrepancies in learning loss is about COVID. These are big names in education research. The second author is [i]Jim Soland[/i]!

If you think you know better than them, why don't you try publishing? [b]The anti-intellectualism displayed here is appalling.[/b]

For those of you interested in actual knowledge and not discounting experts, here's the title and abstract.
[i]
Projecting the Potential Impact of COVID-19 School Closures on Academic Achievement[/i]
As the COVID-19 pandemic upended the 2019–2020 school year, education systems scrambled to meet the needs of students and families with little available data on how school closures may impact learning. In this study, we produced a series of projections of COVID-19-related learning loss based on (a) estimates from absenteeism literature and (b) analyses of summer learning patterns of 5 million students. Under our projections, returning students are expected to start fall 2020 with approximately 63 to 68% of the learning gains in reading and 37 to 50% of the learning gains in mathematics relative to a typical school year. However, we project that losing ground during the school closures was not universal, with the top third of students potentially making gains in reading.[/quote]

The person you're responding to is certainly not displaying anti-intellectualism.

This is a pretty confusing thing about 2021. I LOVE hearing "listen to the science!" and I could really dig if anti-intellectualism was pointed out and rooted out. But those complaints seem to already be appropriated in weird ways. [/quote]
