Liz Willen Dear reader,
The pandemic may have made academic setbacks inevitable, but the release of some pretty depressing NAEP scores ([link removed]) this week has once again focused attention on the enormous loss of learning in reading and math for the nation’s fourth and eighth graders.
It’s important to understand the array of trends and forces behind these scores, and we do our best to explain them, and will also be reporting on how we can move students forward. We love hearing ideas from readers about this, and welcome yours.
This week, we also bring you an important story about the return of police ([link removed]) to school buildings, a surprising trend that reflects demands from parents to ramp up security in response to student misbehavior post-pandemic. And in our continuing coverage of the affirmative action case the Supreme Court will hear next week, we have a sneak peek at research showing just how much of an edge legacy students have in elite college admissions.
Please share these stories widely and remind others to sign up ([link removed]) for our weekly newsletters and consider becoming a member ([link removed]) .
Liz Willen, Editor
