Some families can manage to keep their kids learning and less-stressed. Others, with less resources, won& #39;t be able to do so. I suspect the ones left behind will pay a huge, lifelong price, will never catch up, and, sadly, show up in every research study for the next four decades. https://twitter.com/rorycooper/status/1303319674164318209">https://twitter.com/rorycoope...
I don& #39;t understand how is not topic number one. Keeping young kids out of formal schooling and in high-stress, little/no supervision situations for a year or more—that& #39;s where we& #39;re headed—is potentially a life-changing event for children whose families cannot cushion the impact.
It& #39;s not just the loss of academic learning. Some of the kids stuck at home without school, even if a few hours in a tent outdoors, are going through a very difficult time. But the loss of learning matters, too. Likely irreparable in our already highly-unequal K-12 system.https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😢" title="Weinendes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Weinendes Gesicht">
