“Back to School” Has a Whole New Meaning after a Bumpy Year of Distance Learning!
Studies have consistently shown that students learn most during the school year, that achievement gaps are well established during early childhood, and that children learn at a greater rate in younger years. Thus, educators should expect that little learning occurred while schools were closed, the youngest children likely suffered the most, and those who were already behind are probably still behind, perhaps more so. 1
Steve Eggers, Area Director of ACE Tutoring, hears variations of this request from many parents feeling anxious about the return to on-campus learning: “My child really struggled with distance learning. He needs a math refresher course and help to develop proper study skills to get through high school.” Does this ring a bell?
After a year of remote learning followed by a summer break, how confident do you feel about your children’s ability to transition to school in less than a month? It’s time to find out where they stand with their core academic skills as well as their study skills.
