These numbers aren’t too surprising when you consider that reading and math are high priorities in early grades.

So… why are half of your students still forgetting everything they learned in just a matter of weeks? It's likely a matter of cognitive science!

You would encounter alarming phrases: teacher shortages, pandemic learning loss and historic declines in math and reading scores. You would also know that, during the pandemic, our classrooms changed dramatically (some argue permanently). Under-resourced students and those in rural areas without internet access could not consistently attend classes, either in person or virtually.
