For those who didn't read the article, this is talking about a substantial drop in performance after covid hit, going from 24% of students with a GPA below 1.0 in the second quarter of the 2019-2020 school year to 41% now. This seems like a case of educators failing to properly adjust their methods and expectations in the midst of the pandemic. While understandable given the unprecedented nature of the event, the fact is if performance drops that widely the school needs to course correct. Honestly though, we'd probably be well off just calling the 2020-2021 school year a wash and ignoring stuff like GPA from the past year. Just teach it all again and those kids who did somehow manage to learn the material last year get an easy year.

You're trying to blame educators when its the fault of the students and their parents. You don't know what the word responsibility means and you clearly have not talked to anyone with kids. You couldn't be more wrong and most these students were failures anyways, but what's making it worse is they don't care and many don't even attend online classes daily or they don't pay attention. What's worse is there parent's that aren't are terrible parents who don't care. > Honestly though, we'd probably be well off just calling the 2020-2021 school year a wash and ignoring stuff like GPA from the past year.

Their policy is to push students through to the next grade even if they don't pass, whether its online or in class, its the same policy. Its as if they don't want students to learn with their stupid policies. Also lets not forget liberals care more about not hurting the feelings of "F" students instead of actually making them repeat the year.
