Promote them to the fifth grade. Problem solved.
Maybe not spend so much time on "gender" and "green" and actually read stuff about people. I'm a great believer in bios. Also find poetry a good step...cuz it's usually in rhyme so a duel learning aid.
I was reading high school level books in 2nd grade. Damn nuns:)
How many of them are immigrants?
And in the US it is only 35% of 4th graders who are reading at or above grade level, which itself is a pathetically low standard.
Betcha they can tell you all about sex, racism/white privilege.
Not for nothing, but the lockdowns can only be blamed somewhat. These kids have parents. Has anyone asked the parents why their kids are behind?
If the parents can’t read or don’t care, then being in school would only help a few of them.
They’re still far ahead of Baltimore’s students.
But this was happening before the lockdown so you can not place all the blame there.
I retired 10 years ago this June.During the school closure I went to my grand nieces house and helped her out during the total school closure. That was most of April and May of 2020. By June they began to have live school but on the computer. She did quite well and was reading well above her grade level. Still getting A’s in that and English. She is really struggling in math.
On the positive side, 100% of fourth graders can name 15 preferred positions in perverted LGBT sex...
The parents who committed them to the government indoctrination asylums can feel soooo proud...
