[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What about those whose grades suffered because they didn’t get adequate services and they didn’t get into a college that they could’ve gotten into and instead kids who weren’t disadvantaged in that way, got in?[/quote]

While children with special education needs were disproportionately affected, closing schools as long as they did had a detrimental effect on most students. I have relatives who lived in states where their children went back to full time in-person school during the Fall of 2021 while FCPS school board whined about how dangerous it was to open schools and kept delaying opening schools. I have a child with a learning disability with an IEP and needs a tremendous amount of help. My other child has executive functioning deficits and would succeed in school with some help. However, if you don't have an IEP, it's very difficult to get the extra help. Therefore, I pushed and pushed until that child got an IEP. It's unfortunate that there's no in-between. You either have an IEP and get help, or you don't have an IEP, and then there's very little or no help. There are lots of students in the in between stage that could use extra support but the system is not set up to help those children. [/quote]

Of course not. The schools are required to direct resources in different directions. A kid who just needs extra help isn't anyone's concern [/quote]
