[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I finally had a chance to listen to the episode yesterday. It was sobering but unsurprising. The stories about the people they profiled were a drop in the bucket but oh man. There are going to be a lot of ripple effects. The student Maricela (?) who is being promoted to high school despite missing most of middle school is incredibly sad. I think back to the days of "we're all the same boat!" and it enrages me. We were never all in the same boat. Disadvantaged kids just got left further behind. [/quote] So true. My kid avoided a lot of school during virtual especially after I returned to working in person. He’s doing just fine now. Why? Because I’m a teacher who can help him scaffold his work and work with the school to address his needs. Additionally, he read a ton during the pandemic and we watched things like NOVA and Nature. He is not in the same boat as many kids. [/quote]
