Learning loss didn’t come from “lockdowns” or remote instruction.
It COMES FROM (still happening) illness.
Illness caused by COVID.
Illness that makes kids miss school and teachers miss teaching.
SICK DAYS. And the vascular damage that causes incapacity to think & retain.
This is still happening.

Every time Covid and learning loss hits the news, people act like the only factor is folk staying home and learning online, rather than… Living through a global mass death event.

Learning thru trauma is of course also very difficult. But unfortunately, we’re still a long ways away from most people accepting the neurological (& other) effects of repeated infections on children—effects that’ll continue til we make changes 2 stop or curb the new infections that occur everyday.
