“My teacher friends (younger age groups than yours) said essentially the same thing. Some fraction of students simply disappeared during remote learning and no amount of phone calls to their parents could get them back.” We were sending staff door to door everyday, but it is unclear how much of an impact that (or any of our other interventions) really made.

Managing the increased divergence in coming years will be a challenge.” Anxiety over that divergence is already building amongst the teaching staff.
