"The Covid-19 pandemic is arguably the largest disruption America’s K–12 education system has ever faced. For students, this disruption—and the differences in districts’ response to it—will harm academic achievement and likely exacerbate longstanding achievement gaps".
@Madken65 interesting way of putting it.
@Madken65 "future killing". well, yes, but not if you're referring to COVID deaths.
@LibertySpeaks As this lingers, who knows...
@Madken65 That is why I am posting "food for thought" articles. It is my hope that they will be read and understood specifically for those very secondary and tertiary reasons.
@LibertySpeaks Secondary and tertiary effects...The National leadership is not even accounting for the primary effects...As another said, we will face a cohort, a significant cohort of orphans...
Hey, maybe they'll revisit Orphan Trains too, like they did in the 1920s...
@Madken65 I hope you find the posts enlightening.
@LibertySpeaks I do, appreciate your posts, thanks for sharing...
@LibertySpeaks The poor who may not have a computer nor the internet will be left so far behind their class mates. It's a real tragedy in the making.
@Mandypar yep, i touched on that a couple days ago regarding internet and broadband access.
@LibertySpeaks The under reported national tragedy in all of this, we think it's just present killing, it's also future killing.
