+1. My next door neighbor is a 3rd grade teacher in a heavily hispanic & underprivileged elementary school. She was telling me today that she still has one student -- one of her best during normal times -- who hasn't been able to get online yet. No internet access at home, lives at home with his undocumented grandparents who immigrated from Central America when his parents were killed by a gang, no one in the house speaks English. School has been closed for >1mo now. I was talking to my 5th grader's teach last weekend about the next year. She doesn't know, either, but is assuming they're just going to bake in an extra-long review period going into the year. Alternatively, at least in CA, they're contemplating starting the next school year in July rather than August, to provide more time for catch-up. To your point, though, what about the kids who were able to keep pace throughout -- are they going to be forced to repeat half a semester to maintain equity in the classroom? That would be terribly unfair.
