, a research and advocacy group focused on equity issues, said the learning gaps emerging during the pandemic can be attributed to things like lack of Internet access and devices for students, to stretched thing resources from schools and to the level of support parents were able to provide due to their jobs or economic hardships.
Liesl Hickey, a mother of three from Washington D.C., told"GMA" that she didn't hold her third-grader back a year, though she did pull her out of public elementary school after a challenging start in virtual learning. The child now attends a religious-affiliated independent school. "And then, to be honest, she had a really hard time learning," Hickey said."Six hours on Zoom is a lot for kids. It's a lot for adults."
"Of course that’s in a very different set of circumstances than in a pandemic, but I would fear that we would see some of those negative consequences," he added. "The important response from the school system is that next year or over the summer we really need to pay attention to kids that might have missed key concepts, like fractions in math and phonics in reading," said Minnich."If we just pretend that everything is normal and we put kids in the next grade and don’t focus on what they might have missed, then we’ll have problems."
Teenagers need to take some responsibility for there learning. People can't learn for them. There more than capable in getting up and signing on. Some teenagers need to start owning up. Parents can wake them etc but can't do the work for them.
Now parents see what teachers have to deal with. Yes their children should attend school, but while there’s a pandemic step up as parents and wake your child up to learn! Teachers are not responsible for that part. Tired of these privileged folks.
You can earn €11000 with a little investment of €1000 in 7 working days?....DM me dan_savage_ to get started.
Learning in person doesn’t work for everyone either.
It works for college students. It took us a while but it all fell into place. It’s great to be able to log off and go nap immediately. Or wake up later since there’s no commute. Saves gas money, food costs. I had to upgrade to make my work space more ergonomic. Make it work!
more like, some parents don't want it to work. parents had the chance to make their kids learning environment the best it possibly could be. comfy, warm, and fun. not much fun when parents don't want to do it though. do not blame the kids or the teachers. this is all on parents
Going nowhere, serious matter
Regardless of their relative merits, in person learning doesn't work for everyone either
But Joe B wants the kids home. True works spoken from a predator who is commander in chief. Not my President.
Grade retention has almost 100% bad effects. Why are the grades more important than the kid? Meet people where they’re at.
Meh. The longer kids are away from govt indoctrination centers, the better. Leave the ‘schools’ closed.
I’m virtual I don’t learn shit
This is not the first time childrens’ education has been affected by circumstances. During WWII mass evacuations of children out of bombing areas resulted in lack of resources to teach. Everyone is in the same situation. Look to history because this too will pass.
How come there’s kids that do home schooling with no problem and are smart but for the last year no one can manage to do it with actual teachers on zoom sounds like the parents are failing their children
Turn on the computer & find a learning program.
When my kids vaccinated I'm sending them back to school. I want schools to be open but teachers and students need to get vaccinated first. Once that happens I think most parents would be willing to send their kids back.
Ouch
What a quandary. Don't let these quick one off answers satiate your need to be 'right'. Seems there might not be one cure-all answer for this ailment.👀
2020-21 needs a do over.
What do you think happens when parents home school their kids instead of school? Parents are involved and teach their kids. That is what happens. I know someone who home schooled her kids and they are have high A’s and is now attending online collage. It can be done
Catch up to what? Standardized tests pushed on them by the DOE.
Mine are going to be repeating 9th grade next year because on line has failed miserably for them And I’m not advocating in person until vaccinations are complete Just Cancel School! I teach tennis If the court is wet, I cancel
If a child is falling behind it’s not all on the teacher. Most of us parents know we must sacrifice our couch time to teach our children even if it means re-learning stuff we forgot years ago. It really comes down to how much the parent(s) are willing to help their own children.
It's really stupid that in ~2020 we still rely on kids being physically at school, stuck with whatever loser teachers a broken system has to offer. It's a complete waste of time, IMO. The biggest part of actual teaching should be done by professionals. 👍
Good luck trying to hold your children back, we fought tooth and nail with our district in an attempt to hold our son back (8th grade) they would not allow it and even said they pass kids onto the next grade who have grade averages of 30%. Had to pay for private school instead.
Just reopen the fucking schools. It’s stupid the consequences of kids not Learning is worse than slightly more people catching Covid.
Democrats are great at covering up lockdowns, shutdowns, casting blames, exploding the deficits, spreading fear like the terrorists themselves...and now the evil empire wants everyone to Unite? Deal.
Lack of access to schools is a problem. I called for months, went on the website of the school my son would have been attending in our old neighborhood, and only got a response when I called other district offices. I wasn't impressed by the admissions office to say the least
Private schools are always the better alternative.
How much further behind can you fall?
Just a terrible situation for the kids
An entire generation is being destroyed.
Take these masks off of your children!!!
Take ur kids home for safety and let them use zoom for learning.
😰，
Whatsy
