Your kids didn't backslide because youtube replaced the school or because two college-educated parents de-facto homeschooled them? There is a difference between these two scenarios, donchathink?

Next, do you really claim based on your set of one, that none of kids backslid during the time zoom replaced in-person lessons? Because I remember lots of hand-wringing, pearl-clutching and teeth-gnashing accompanying demands to re-open schools on this very site and on many other platforms. Now it turns out school closures weren't a problem?

Agreed. Most kids did slide back, and quite dramatically, despite the generally poor quality of teachers these days. Some developed a mask attachment and other phobias. We need better, not woke teachers, but they aren't the problem with the insane amount of money wasted by the dept of education. It's all the bullshit administrative positions and unions who suck up 80% of the money, teachers don't make a lot.

Correct. Admin explosion

Can confirm this via wife's experience as a teacher.

Union contract, not executive order.
