What to know:The pandemic school closures will cost American students trillions of dollars in lost earnings, a new study by Stanford University shows. American students are falling behind on science education.
The TPPF take: The harm done by school closures won’t be fully known for years. Science education takes a hit when federal officials declare themselves “the science,” as Dr. Anthony Fauchi did last year. But classical education has an answer for this.
“Without foundational knowledge, struggling students pass from 8th grade to high school woefully unprepared,” says TPPF’s Michael Barba. “It’s not their fault, but it is their problem: 93% of students who fall behind never catch up. The test scores released this week confirm what parents have been shouting from the rooftops.”
