So while the democrat elites were partying it up during lockdowns, it turns out they absolutely destroyed the education of an entire generation. Don't expect to hear much about this in the lame stream media. https://thefederalist.com/2022/09/1...school-lockdowns-hurt-americas-poor-the-most/ Abysmal National Test Score Drops Show School Lockdowns Hurt America’s Poor The Most The test showed a five-point decline in reading scores—the largest since 1990—and an even larger, seven-point drop in math, the first one recorded in the test’s 50-year history. For all its obsession with “equity,” the Biden administration sure has the wrong results to show for it. In fact, the first national results showing test scores before and after covid lockdowns shows how the most vulnerable kids got hit hardest by learning loss. The results, which compared outcomes on tests taken by nine-year-olds this past spring with those taken in early 2020 (i.e., right before hysteria shut down schools), confirmed wider learning gaps between the proverbial haves and have-nots.
The results are just starting to trickle in but it looks like we threw away an entire generation of children so that we could protect old people, who are in poor health, with multiple co-morbidities. We need to hold these lockdowners accountable. https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/a...w-pandemic-learning-loss-is-a-national-crisis Pandemic Learning Loss Is a National Crisis Just in time for the start of the new school year, America’s public-education system has received a damning report card. The latest results of the National Assessment of Educational Progress reveal historically large drops in math and reading scores for US public-school students. The findings are an indictment of school closures that went on for far too long, pushed by teachers unions and some of their political allies. They also show why recovering the ground students have lost is a national emergency.
So we destroyed a generation of children so that we protect 80 years with a bunch of health conditions already. Nice work democrats. Those Grade-School Test Scores Are a Really Bad Sign https://www.msn.com/en-us/health/we...test-scores-are-a-really-bad-sign/ar-AA13oYvq On Monday, America got a report card, and the results were pretty bad. There were alarming declines in math and reading skills among the country’s fourth and eighth graders, as assessed by the National Assessment of Education Progress (NAEP), which has been testing broad samples of elementary level students since the early 1990s. In this year’s test results, which are calculated as an average from 0 to 500, math scores dropped by five points for fourth graders, lower than all previous assessment years since 2005. Eighth graders’ math scores dropped by a whopping eight points compared to 2019.
