The Triad Business Journal has an article about a panel discussion on education. Several individuals involved in various aspects of education in the Triad were quoted. The discussion regarded how the Covid response affected young people in the schools.
What were their observations?
- Decreased social and emotional heath and abilities
- Delayed social interactions
- Difficulty being away from home
- Decreased work ethic
- Less academic ability
- Absenteeism
- Lower test scores
- Anxiety
