[PostMillennial] The results of a year without education are starting to come in and it has been a devastating one for America's children.
A study conducted among students in San Francisco uncovered the truth that those who are most impacted by school closures are minority and low-income students.
The San Francisco Chronicle reports that low-income students have fallen even further behind during the pandemic-inspired closures. The school board has instead prioritized the renaming of schools over getting schools open. They are more concerned with the appearance of racism than they are with actually making sure minority students get an education.
Still another study shows that students who are English language learners are "falling behind more compared to others."
"Students of color could be six to 12 months behind, compared with four to eight months for white students," it said. "While all students are suffering, those who came into the pandemic with the fewest academic opportunities are on track to exit with the greatest learning loss."
More proof of "White Privilege".
Meanwhile, many states are reporting that their enrollment numbers have significantly fallen during the pandemic. In New York City alone, the public school enrollment went from 1.1 million students at the beginning of the pandemic to under 950,000.
