Not for nothing, but the lockdowns can only be blamed somewhat. These kids have parents. Has anyone asked the parents why their kids are behind?
If the parents can’t read or don’t care, then being in school would only help a few of them.
And yet, some how, in the past, despite parents not being able to read and not caring, the vast majority of children learned to read.
And that was with going to school only three months a year.
Think maybe it is because the teachers can't read and don't care?
Oh good heavens no. It can not be the teachers, it is the parents, the culture, kids not getting enough sleep, or some other stupid excuse but never the fat, over paid, under educated, blue haired teachers.
