[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You’d think the health of our kids would be more important than some percentage points.

People, it’s a pandemic. Who cares about test scores?? I just want my kids to live and not have adverse long term side effects.[/quote]

Not being able to read is much more likely to cause adverse long term side effects for the average child than Covid-19. [/quote]

Newsflash: these problems existed before the pandemic (just look at the data from beforehand). What were all you “reopen the schools for the sake of the poor minority children” folks saying then? What were you doing about it?

Nothing. Absolutely nothing. So my issue is the majority of people crying about “learning loss” don’t actually care, they’re just using Black and Brown people as a tool in their game.[/quote]

This is the most bizarre argument:  "[b]You didn't care before so you can't care now.[/b]"

Look, I understand that the point may be that white people are being disingenuous about their concern for brown and Black kids.  That's real.  But maybe also they are starting to care, because they are being presented with data like this?

OK, I'l bite.  I'm a white parent and I care - albeit for selfish reasons.

My kids are doing fine academically then and now in public schools, but next year, do you think they will elevate the curriculum to keep the kids on their grade level curriculum or spend much of the time remediating the learning loss of non-white students?

We will continue with math and reading tutors for the next few years to keep my elementary kids challenged.[/quote]
