Even if every cent of this money ended up in schools this would be hilarious because we absolutely predicted it and were shouted down and called child murderers. The reality is a fraction of this 100 million will end up anywhere near a school budget and will instead line the pockets of the people who couldn't have possibly predicted kids education being stunted by the façade of "remote learning."
Hochul said that $100 million would be used to address pandemic learning loss and trauma when schools were closed due to Covid-19, and that $8 million would go to creating mental health clinics in schools, according to the press release. Hochul gave a speech laying out the specifics of the program, saying individual school districts or a consortium of school districts would be able to apply for grants from the program.
They have to apply for grants = we're flooding all this money into our allies who followed every one of our orders during the pandemic leading to this disaster.
“No one could have predicted it,” New York Gov. Kathy Hochul said talking about pandemic learning loss.
“Something happened during that period of time, unforeseen, no one at the beginning of the pandemic in March of 2020 could have foreseen that three years later despite the fact that we had vaccinations, we saved lives and people are starting to get back to work and feeling somewhat normal again we could not of foreseen the impact that this has had on our most vulnerable, our kids,” Hochul said.
“The new State matching fund, the $100 million Recover from COVID School Program, will provide funding to create or expand programs to help students address trauma caused by the pandemic, prioritizing school districts with the highest need,” according to the press release.
Highest need = donors and blacks.
“The effects of the pandemic on our students were devastating and irreversible,” Hochul said.
Amazing. I can't wait until they blame Trump next.
I pulled my children from public school during the pandemic because their teachers were spending 15 minutes a day on Zoom with them. And this was supposedly a good district. We found a fantastic Catholic school that fought our blue-state restrictions on in-person instruction and our kids caught back up quickly. I feel terrible for parents who couldn't afford the option we had. I'm not sure the damage can be undone.
Friend of mine's kid was a 90+ student. Suddenly dropped down to failure level. So he set up the computer to record the zoom classes to see what was going on. The teacher literally did nothing. He complained to the principal and at first they tried to deflect it and then he showed them the video and suddenly they decided to act and moved his kid out of the class.
Weird, Sweden dosen't have this massive jump in education failure ( accounting the demographic replacement ), kept schools open, no lockdown, no mask, and has the lowest overall excess mortality over the course of the "pandemic".
Almost as if the "pandemic" did none of this : the government did.
I think the problem is the pandemic ruined the scam of teachers handing out grades based on fluff and nonsense. By forcing everyone to take the same tests and preventing the teachers from easily fudging the numbers (since everything gets recorded online) the real aptitude of all the special snowflakes was revealed.
The pandemic did not make students dumber, it revealed how dumb they already were.
Not seeing the lips and having the sound be muffled is a lot of sound and info to be lost over a day. 2 weeks woulda been fine. 2 years of struggling to understand the teacher is an irreparable setback. The smart kids were fine and tuned out anyway, but the struggling ones fell behind.
That's a good point. I also think a lot of it is aimed at the idea of obedience to the teacher. Whether it's good or not is a major debate, but not being able to control the way they did has made it really difficult.
Yes and no. In some ways fudging is more rampant and some ways it was less.
More rampant because it was so much easier to cheat since most teachers just used google forms for tests. A lady at my local bar hired me to take her kid's high school tests because I'm the "smart guy"(read: I read books therefore smart) at the bar and would pay for my bar tabs in return. Completely laughable tests.
The other way numbers get fudged is disruptive kids. If you're a terrible kid the teachers don't want to deal with you and they pass you just so you don't get left back and they don't have to deal with you a second time. But if it is virtual these terrible kids aren't going to log in so the teachers don't care about promoting and forgetting and instead just fail them like they should have been.
Also there is also the just the terrible teaching principle in some of this. Under normal circumstances a supervisor can pop into the classroom to see what is going on. With zoom there was very little oversight and lazy teachers just completely slacked off.

Not donors. Donors send their kids to private schools which operated throughout.
There are some people that are just evil. I'm convinced Hochul is one of them.
Suppose anyone can add up how much money has gone into "education" since covid hit? I have to think their budgets must have soared since then.

All that money will be stolen.
already was

except for all the people that did and were called conspiracy theorists for it
Remote education is fine. The way they were doing it was insane, and the reason why online school gets messed up so much.

Based take. Absolutely plausible.
I think it's a combo.
