Student Scores Fell Sharply During The Pandemic


According to a new federal survey, math and reading scores for America’s 9-year-olds fell dramatically during the first two years of the pandemic.


Reading scores saw their largest decrease in 30 years, while math scores also decreased.


These declines were seen all over the nation and affected mostly whites, but students of color saw some of the steepest decreases.


According to the acting associate commissioner of NCES, Daniel McGrath, “These are some of the largest declines we have observed in a single assessment cycle in 50 years of the NAEP program.


We felt the same way when the pandemic hit our community. A lot of poor families just didn’t have time to take care of their kids. Many of them are wasting their time with online learning.


                      CDC Signed Off On Update Versions Of Booster Shot


The CDC signed off on Thursday on updated versions of Pfizer and Moderna’s Covid-19 boosters allowing vaccinations to begin.


The CDC said in a statement, “This recommendation followed a comprehensive scientific evaluation and robust scientific discussion. If you are eligible, there is no bad time to get your Covid-19 booster, and we strongly encourage you to receive it.”


Pfizer’s booster was authorized for people 12 and older, while Moderna’s booster is for people 18 and up.


The federal government is working to distribute the new shot to states in the next couple of days.


Many doctors anticipate there will be a tough winter season ahead both with the flu and with Covid-19. The Biden administration is urging all eligible people in the U.S. to get the new boosters as part of its fall booster campaign.
