Could it be that children just dont learn well during a pandemic, no matter what mode education is delivered? If their caregivers are being hospitalized and/or dying, could that be to blame for the educational losses we are seeing?
Could the fact that 1 in 310 Black children, 1 in 168 Native children, and 1 in 412 Hispanic children, lost a caregiver compared to 1 in 753 White children, explain any of the racial gaps we saw in last year's educational loss data?
But COVID doesn't affect kids, they say.
