You're right. It was the roundly panning of the article that made me think it was roundly panned. Sorry, I'm not gonna go find the dozen or so critiques that are easily googleable. I just thought I'd put this article up as a summary. ARe you going to continue to use that citation to support your argument?A single article by "scientists" does not constitute being "roundly panned".
I mention that (Because some truly don't; they have other things to worry about).Your argument is that parents of kids in poor schools don't care about their child's education?
EVen though some don't that's not the main crux of my argument. The Main point is that they don't have the ability or willingness to support their kids' education the way more affluent families do.
[giggle] Ok. Please help me then.I'm a bit concerned that you're a teacher and don't know the proper usage of affect/effect.
so what?But I digress. The learning loss from the pandemic is clear, and it was much worse in states with democratic governors where schools were closed considerably longer than in republican states. There was a clear political divide on school closings, and kids paid dearly.
The Pandemic Erased Two Decades of Progress in Math and Reading
1) I can't read paywall blocked articles.
2) I can't see the study itself to see what measures were taken.
3) Poverty had a greater correlation to poor results and more pronounced learning missed/loss. I mean the impoverished were in ALL ways hit hardest with the shut downs.
And if you go in without a mask, they can refuse to offer you service as well.If you choose to not wear a shirt to McDondald's, you can be denied a greasy Big Mac because the store's policies require shirt and shoes for service.
I fail to see what makes my analogy so weak. I assume you think the effects are not comparable and therefore the analogy falls apart.
What do you mean when you say "othering"? I mean it sounds pretty gentle. It is like, someone said something mean about you?Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness are unalienable rights that don't come with a footnote that requires COVID vaccination. Ostracizing and "othering" people who chose not to be vaccinated is not in any way akin to refusing to give someone a Big Mac.
It's funny to me that minorities have been experiencing "ostracizing and othering" for generations and now there is a huge contingent of America that doesn't want to talk about it....AT ALL. But whoa, YELL it from the mountain and claim victimhood if they ignore mainstream medical advice and there is a CONSEQUENCE from it.
