Learning Recovery Stalls

Student recovery from pre-pandemic levels seems to have stalled out. The pandemic years set students back considerably, but it was hoped that they would have caught back up by now. I can tell you that this is true. Many individual students have caught up, or were able to keep up throughout Covid, but on average too many students are still not where they should be. The consequences of decisions made in response to Covid are likely to be felt for at least a generation.

What 'fixes' would you impliment for recovery progress.

What 'fixes' would you impliment [sic] for recovery progress.

More homework, longer school days, school on Saturday, short but more frequent testing.

Here I thought you were referring to recovering an airplane from a stall. In a Cessna 150 a little right rudder will do it (or was that left rudder, it's been a while).

The kids wanted to be in school, but the teachers didn't.

Take away all electronic devices, and shut down the internet.

Force kids to read from books, and learn to write (print and cursive,) on paper.

Evidence increases for reading on paper instead of screens

Paper vs. digital reading: After totaling up the results from 33 quality studies, a researcher found that students tend to absorb more when they're reading on paper than on screens.

Much shorter testing, yes, but, yes, testing included.

Playing to teh tests?

It will all work out. Most people learn most of what they know after leave school.

Apparently YOU didn't learn English.

LOL

Better than y'all

a typo.. Whoooweeeeeee You got me!

I meant testing of class content. We already take up too much time on standardized testing, although it too is important.

That's true about writing by hand. Some of my students want to submit all their assignments online, but I balance that with hand written work. That doesn't mean we should waste time on cursive.

...

You can't shut down the internet entirely. A lot of work needs to be done through an online portal where grades are kept and calculated. However, I build in time in my curricula for my classes to go to the school library and do research with real books and real paper.

You've got that backwards.
