[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This thread is so privileged, including my experience.  We did private and a pod and hired a reading specialist for my K student.  Of course he is fine.

Who was really hurt are lower-income students without family and financial support who were already disadvantaged and are now more so.  It’s unfeeling not to recognize that pandemic learning loss affects those most who can least afford to face it.  As a society we are failing the poor yet again but DCUMers are fine so let’s just not talk about it and/or pretend it isn’t happening![/quote]

You are privileged and using talking points of poor people as your commentary.

We were at one of those poor schools, and yet, many of our kids did just fine.  It took a lot of parental involvement, but so does in-person.

The issue is the quality of the academics and schools not being willing to address issues like reading early on.  You are clueless.  Schools have been in person for two years now so it's time to stop blaming the pandemic and understand that the issue is the changes in curriculum, teaching and standards.

And, my kids have been in virtual for three years.  Virtual isn't the issue.  We don't have your privilege to be able to send them in person.[/quote]
