Disturbing Impacts of School Closures on Education

Teachers don't want to teach. Not in person anyway. Republicans blame Democrats, union bosses for fastest drop in nine-year-olds' learning in 50 years - as more kids REPEAT grades as DC schools ban unvaccinated students

• Math scores among third grade students dropped five points from 2020 to 2022 and reading scores dropped seven
• Reading scores saw their largest drop in three decades and math scores fell for the first time since records began
• 'Actual science didn't support school closures. Democrats were too busy following political science to care,' said Rep. Guy Reschenthaler, R-Pa.

Pediatricians were calling for schools to reopen in 2020.

In June of 2020, the American Academy of Pediatrics strongly recommended that students attend school in person. However, as late as January 2022, teachers' unions were still promoting remote learning. That's despite clear indications of the detriment to students’ mental and academic fitness.

Under the Biden Administration, the CDC allowed the American Federation of Teachers to modify official guidance and ensure many schools did not fully reopen.

The result has been to DEVASTATE a generation of school kids.

As I have said before, if an education is the way out of poverty, then the teachers, and the Left generally, want another generation dependent on government handouts.
