School closures keep looking worse, but no consequences are coming

There has still been little to no accountability for the unnecessary school closures during the pandemic that set children back quite drastically.

The New York Times ran through the data once again and found everything that many of us have been arguing for years to be true. Math scores between third and eighth grade dropped more for students who spent 50% or more of their schooling in remote “learning” or hybrid schooling compared to those who spent less. Students fell behind more the longer their schools were closed. Poor students saw bigger score drops and more setbacks than students from wealthier families.
