More than 300 days have passed since public schools in Massachusetts had to close due to the coronavirus pandemic, resorting instead to remote or hybrid learning programs that have proved inferior for many students. Yet, at least in Massachusetts, there isn’t reliable data to assess the stunted progress and outright learning loss that many students have experienced during this time.
That’s why the announcement last month that a modified version of the MCAS will be administered this year is welcome.

It s easy to say they will live us forever. It sounds good. It makes us feel good. But is it best for our kids? Hear me out. Look at Nick Sinacori s statement, It makes me feel like a grown up.

A newer two bedroom apartment in my area will cost a minimum of $2300 a month. SSI is around $800. Add $194 in food benefits and you re still unable to afford average housing here.
