Then, they are already “ahead”. Hard to declare there’s learning loss in courses that the majority of students will never take in HS or college.[/quote]
 NO. there is "learning loss" if the curriculum that was planned to be covered by end of school year, and has been in previous years, was not able to be fully covered, especially if 40 percent was not covered. These kids who are taking the class should get the full curriculum just as a less able learner should, if they are in Geometry in Junior year for example.
How can one accurately say they took the class if they only covered a bit more than half of the content?![/quote]

Newsflash: this isn’t a normal school year. [/quote]

Learning loss is real and has costs. A child that would have gotten a full year of calculus is worse off than she otherwise would have been. Studies show this will impact their earnings long term. Education isn't there to make us feel good - it has real value.[/quote]

I’m so tired of you acting like your child is going to fail for the rest of their life because they only got the majority of calculus taught to them during a global pandemic. Trust me, they’ll be fine unless they’ve inherited your negative hysteria.[/quote]

Talk about being hysterical lol. didn't say they were going to "fail for the rest of their life" dumbass. I said they will have lower earnings, which is what happens to children whose education has been interrupted.

Why do you care to send your children to school if you literally think education is worthless and losing half a year makes no difference?[/quote]

It's so sad people like you can only see in black and white. Just because I'm not frightened over the fact my kid got the majority of the math lessons they were supposed to do this year, all of a sudden, you automatically assume I think education is worthless? There's grey area. Only truly "dumbass" people see this in terms of absolutes. I'm also a reasonable human being who realizes we are in a unique situation here (global pandemic and all) and I'm not concerned with my child catching up on anything they might have missed. I actually checked the "omitted' content and it's either stuff they already have touched on or will be covered and reviewed again in other lessons. Most of the cut content wasn't crucial to mastery of the subject. Also, it's not sweat off my brow to help facilitate their learning and supplement. (Basic things parents should be doing in a normal year regardless of what school district they are in.) I have more faith in your kid catching up and earning what they are worth,more than it seems you do. Hope they have support elsewhere in their actual life. [/quote]

All I said is there are costs to losing education. You projected all the rest of that drivel onto me, and call me hysterical. JFC. I'm sorry your children have such comically stupid parents.[/quote]

Not the pp, but you sound way too defensive here. They proved their point. The only comically stupid parent here is you.[/quote]
