[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We won’t know how much learning loss there has been for elementary until school reopens.

The older kids are earning As and Bs just for showing up. [/quote]

Agree. And the teachers have clearly been instructed by admin to pass the high schoolers this year by hook or by crook even if the student has done no work and learned nothing. It’s going to be a mess next year when all those kids who were given Ds just to avoid having colossal failures try to do the next level of math, foreign language, etc without having learned this year’s material.

Many of us are not doing this. I HATE giving a kid an F but I also go to the ends of the earth to help and support so if they can’t get to a D with all that, they need much more. I cannot help them access those supports and interventions and credit recovery if I lie and give them a D. It might make me temporarily feel better, oh, I didn’t fail a kid, but we know the counties will only be able to provide targeted support and remediation to the kids who failed multiple quarters. I cannot take away their chance to qualify for that help by assuaging my own conscience to give a D. [/quote]
