Recovering from Learning Loss After A Year of COVID-19
Elements of distance learning may be part of our education infrastructure going forward.
When it rains, it pours. The COVID-19 pandemic, by forcing students to learn remotely, exposed the digital divide in the United States, highlighting just how many families, students and communities did not have access to computers, internet or even a quiet environment to tune into classes. And we all are suffering from Zoom fatigue, increased workloads and a steep decline in mental health.
Despite a slow but steady return to normal life in the United States, students and families are facing another hurdle: learning loss. Late in 2020, McKinsey analysts predicted that “the cumulative learning loss could be substantial, especially in mathematics with students on average likely to lose five to nine months of learning by the end of this school year.”
Lines between school and home have blurred during the pandemic, including families overseeing remote public schooling or shifting to home schooling or learning pods.
Now parents are making decisions about the next school year, a task complicated by questions about remaining safety precautions come fall and, for some, the timeline for vaccines for children under 12. Parents experimenting with education options that meld learning both inside and outside the home will likely continue, observers say, as families prioritize flexibility and safety. One option more people are considering: hybrid home schooling, where students are taught at home and attend a school in-person several days a week.
