Nearly a quarter of Boston public high school students not logging into classes daily as course failure rates rise

[Disir]

Nearly a quarter of Boston public high school students did not log into classes on any given day this fall as schools remain closed and course failure rates rise, according to school data released Saturday that paints a worrisome picture of academic disengagement.
Among students in grades 6-12, failure rates for the first academic quarter, which concluded last month, jumped to 18 percent in English, from 12.4 percent the previous year. Increases in failure rates in other subjects were similar.
Black and Latino students experienced the biggest increases.
School officials unveiled the data as part of a new pandemic dashboard to track a host of student performance measures during the public health crisis, which has raised concerns about educational inequality widening as nearly all students are learning at home, where access to technology, parental support, and other resources varies widely.

Guilt-ridden white liberals will tell you its racist white America that is preventing the black kids from logging on

Not a surprise. Chuck the whole year! Although if you compare it to absentee rates from this time last year, it might not seem quite as alarming. Absenteeism is a problem in most city schools, isn't it?

No. They will drop the entire thing. You tell a kid that is an 17/18 year old senior that they have to come back next year and they will drop. Further, those kids that are foster kids that are turning 18 will not come back. They drop. You cannot go in and tell them their lives/plans are delayed.

And lack of attendance is dependent on the school and the city.

Why are the kids being so incredibly irresponsible? Their parents have failed.

The step daughter while getting A grades keeps forgetting to check in despite getting her work done.
Recieved a letter from the State that she could be held truant and if continues could lose her driver's license.
She basically does her schoolwork in two hours then sleeps all day.
State leaders have taken away daily routines, social interactions, childhood memories we take for granted, a sense of responsibility, expectations of being someplace on time and deadlines.

There is no way of measuring the damage done to this generation finishing school during a pandemic overreaction and overreach of government.

The schools and state leaders are failing and parents are stuck holding the bag of state incompetence.

Really not sure how to teach inclusion and race victimhood and shaming.
But I can teach reading, writing, and old school math.

My family was discussing this at Thanksgiving.

This is really a form of social class segregation, and the elites that are imposing this false paradigm are not really suffering. I have a family member that is quite high up in the corporate world, and her daughter goes to a private school. They have had mitigation strategies at her school, but haven't closed down at all, she has continued going to school all year long.

Yet, b/c her son has a disability, they do not have a program for him, and he must attend public school. It has been closed mostly all year, and he of course, doesn't pay attention to on-line learning AT ALL. It is shameful what the STATE has done to him.

Most folks are not aware, but private schools just have continued on.

I suspect this is probably much the case for public Universities and private ones as well.


So now it all comes out, we have a two tier society, just like our rulers want. If you can't afford the finest, you will remain . . . well, not economically viable.

Of course employers and colleges are not going to want folks that have been educated on-line versus in person. . . this is only common sense.

. . . and only parents who have scads of money are going to be able to afford private institutions that are immune to these lock-down decrees.


Kind of like how the CARES act bailed out these billion dollar corporations that are tied at the hip with the bureaucracy and the Deep State. . . but left mom & pop shops to suffer, die and go out of business. . .

It's all about who you know, and how much money and power you have. The American dream, and the ideals that built this nation, truly are dead.

Most parents work. My younger grandson is failing his classes because he is bored out of his mind with computer instruction. He has no one to supervise him during the day because she has to work to pay my other grandson's medical bills. I think he will fail and that is a good thing. He cannot see his friends except for those living in his small neighborhood and most will not allow them to play together because of the COVID risk. He is absolutely miserable.

It's really not necessary to inject race baiting into every thread on every topic.

We can't just give up on these students. This is going to have long-term repercussions for an entire generation of students - at least.

The current circumstances are asking too much of these kids and their parents. Students (and parents, for that matter) need consistency in order to thrive, and that is hard to come by these days.
