It’s a well-known phenomenon. Schools break up in July and children disappear for six weeks. When they come back in September, the teachers find them practically feral. They haven’t just forgotten the content of their lessons; they have even forgotten how to sit at their desks properly so that a lesson can take place.
Imagine, then, the return to school that is going to take place this coming September, assuming teaching unions ever allow schools to return. Millions of children, already being given shamefully few hours of online instruction even where they could do more, will come back after a five-month break into a school system struggling to back-fill a huge educational gap. I doubt it is a scenario that excites any teacher.... DT
