I'm SICK of everyone claiming we are going to have a generation of kids "left behind". What are they going to be behind in? Are we upset our kindergarten kids aren't reading their college texts and finishing their calculus? Give me a break. #EdChat (Good) Teachers will do as they always have and address the gaps in their students learning so they may provide remediation as necessary. (Good) admin will do as they have and address areas of weakness and strategies for improvement in developing teachers.

A thread from Michael Leland on FB.

The fact that we keep buying the "Kids are falling behind academically" narrative of this pandemic is the grossest example of how we have allowed a corrupt version of capitalism to alter our basic moral compass.
