We are in the midst of a serious recession that could have repercussions for generations to come. This isn’t an economic recession but rather a learning recession that deserves the same attention and innovation as economic issues on Wall Street.
Stanford University found that American students lost on average one year of math and reading during the 2019-2020 school year due to COVID-19. Utah students fared slightly better losing 155 days of reading and 307 days of math. These losses are staggering and will likely be compounded by another anticipated learning deficit this year.
