Message: [QUOTE="browndog319, post: 3507226, member: 7185"] I can’t find the article but I read today that a significant number of kids hadn’t logged in to engage with their schools during the remote learning period once. I think it was over 50% but I can’t find the article. They were mainly in already poor performing schools and kids whose families were sharing devices or relying on older kids to watch younger kids while parents worked. These kids may not see school until next fall and will have potentially a 5/6 month gap. If they push them to the next grade, there will be material they haven’t learned and they will struggle from here on out. And if they hold them back, you’ve disrupted a massive number of kids. The big story - poor performing schools become non-performing schools. Heartbreaking is a good word. My own child has an IEP which is difficult to uphold but I can help her a little and we’ll figure it out. I don’t know what to do for these other kids and I know teachers are trying. [/QUOTE]
