'It was an unmitigated disaster': COVID lockdown and remote learning has set back kids by 'up to several GRADES' and cratered social skills in younger students, education expert says

COVID lockdowns and remote learning was severely detrimental to kids, with one expert saying it hurt everything from reading and writing to basic social skills.

The National Center for Education Statistics conducted a study on 9-year-old students over the two years since the pandemic began. They found test scores in reading fell five points, while in math they fell seven points.

The US Department of Education called this the largest drop in reading test scores since 1990, while in math, it was the first time they'd ever recorded a lower average.

Thanks teachers. You don’t give a damn about science. You don’t give a damn about children. All you care about is higher pay and pensions. No one with an Education degree should ever be allowed near children.

Set children back several grades?

Translation: "They're behind schedule in their Wokeness and LGBTQ grooming."

Isn't that a good thing, given that math is racist?

Including teachers.

In NYS, a lot of teachers were still demanding kids be muzzled as the school year started.

"As education experts say"

Education experts are best defined as "parents".

School teachers and school administrators come from the bottom 20% of university graduates nationally.

What more efficient method of manufacturing democrats is there? Illegal immigration is ok, but has risks that the immigrants will either wise up and shift conservative or vote the current demonrats out office to be replaced with people from the immigrant community who look and sound like them. But if you intentionally create a permanently disabled population of the ignorant bereft of any critical thinking skills, the politicians that created the problem in the first place can be reelected again and again in perpetuity

Quite the success!

It met all of the objectives of:

Population Control

Destroying Free Enterprise

Undermining our Constitutional Freedoms and American culture...

I wonder if this kind of article will ever go mainstream media. Because if it does, I know a lot of people who owe me an apology. I’m sure we all know the types that looked at us like crazy people when we questioned all the fauci crap. Idiots.

Can someone remind me when they got their credibility back?

CRT

Gender reassignment indoctrination as early as kindergarten.

Homosexuals with free run of the place.

Just 70 years ago, these people would have been taken
outside the schoolhouse and dealt with.

Now I want to hear their assessment?

You’re kidding right?

Responsibility for educating children lies with the parents and the children themselves. Government involvement is the cause of several social and other problems.

If you can’t find and afford a good private school, homeschool your kids. Don’t be lazy minded.

Other than that, it was a good idea. The teachers got a break from all those kids.
