NOW it can be told! AP starts to notice maybe there was a downside to pandemic-era school closures

Yesterday CNN’s Jake Tapper said he’s been “surprised that there hasn’t been a national conversation about the damage done to kids because of these school closures.” Tapper had brought up the issue before, but as for the reason(s) a “national conversation” didn’t take place the whole time, that’s not really a mystery.

However, there does appear to be an increasing number of media outlets suddenly noticing the damage that was done now that it’s less politically toxic to the preferred narrative to do so.

This story comes from the Associated Press’s “better late than never” department:

Prepare to not be shocked:

Preliminary test scores around the country confirm what Kargbo witnessed: The longer many students studied remotely, the less they learned. Some educators and parents are questioning decisions in cities from Boston to Chicago to Los Angeles to remain online long after clear evidence emerged that schools weren’t COVID-19 super-spreaders — and months after life-saving adult vaccines became widely available.

There are fears for the futures of students who don’t catch up. They run the risk of never learning to read, long a precursor for dropping out of school. They might never master simple algebra, putting science and tech fields out of reach. The pandemic decline in college attendance could continue to accelerate, crippling the U.S. economy.

Yeah, who could have possibly seen that coming?

Tom Elliott has a more honest framing of the AP’s story:

NOW the story can be told!

Who might those “some adults” be?

Now Randi Weingarten is advising schools in Ukraine, because of course.

The actual damage that was done might not be known for decades.

LOL. The AP wasn’t about to frame it that way.
