Our Kids Are Not Broken

https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2021/03/how-to-get-our-kids-back-on-track/618269/?fbclid=IwAR3PGlUz6fVEiQJ1cX7SMo0pKG2XFopf0-Zc97bTNcAPsaM3-1NwtakQ_48

Our kids have lost so much—family members, connections to friends and teachers, emotional well-being, and for many, financial stability at home. And, of course, they’ve lost some of their academic progress. The pressure to measure—and remediate—this “learning loss” is intense; many advocates for educational equity are rightly focused on getting students back on track. But I am concerned about how this growing narrative of loss will affect our students, emotionally and academically. Research shows a direct connection between a student’s mindset and academic success.
