The pitfalls of remote learning are glaring like Clark Griswoldâs Christmas light display.
While some Nebraska kids managed to keep pace academically from home the first semester, other remote students fell so far behind that theyâre failing or at risk of it, according to teachers and school leaders.
Generally, the students who struggled most were those who also struggled in the classroom before the pandemic, particularly those without parental support and engagement, they said. But teachers said that even some normally successful students have found remote learning difficult.
Just how many kids fell behind is still being assessed as teachers tally up end-of-semester grades and schools pore over test data. Some say it could take years to know the full scope of the learning losses.
