How Have Government School Closures Impacted Students?

Bishop Aubrey Shines of Conservative Clergy of Color discussed with Jonathan Butcher, a senior policy analyst at the Center for Education Policy, the government shutting down schools over the COVID-19 pandemic. Shines asked Butcher about the academic impact of the closings. The closings have affected students academically and psychologically. Butcher touched on grades and reports of suicides among these young people.

There is a push to prevent testing that’ll measure the impact COVID has had on our children. Parents speak up, speak out, engage your community and school systems. Remember you’re doing this for your children. #COVIDー19 #SchoolChoice pic.twitter.com/BaitYBxPOc
