Once again the Red States did it better.
Schools that switched to remote learning harmed children's educational achievement in math, Harvard study finds as it praises Florida and Texas for keeping schools open
• Harvard's Center for Education and Policy Research looked at 2.1 million student test scores in 49 states
- Gaps between white students and black and Hispanic students widened greatly in remote learning states
- Prof. Thomas Kane estimates that students who were remote for more than half the year lost half a year of learning
- Kane warned that if there isn't funding provided to help those students catch up, there will be fewer college-going students in those states
- Students who lost ground could be forfeiting $2 trillion in earnings over their lifetime if they don't catch up
Students in school districts that relied more heavily on remote learning during the pandemic fell behind in math at a far greater rate than students in states, like Texas and Florida, that stuck to in-person classes, according to a Harvard study.
Nationally, all students have seen a decrease in academic achievement because of the disruption from the pandemic, an issue that has been exacerbated by poverty and race.
But Prof. Thomas Kane, an economist and director of Harvard's Center for Education Policy Research, found that kids that were allowed to come to school faired far better than those who were forced to learn over video feed.
