Plenty of these headlines right now.
I wonder...
1⃣Are grades down due missing "assignments" or a lack of learning?
2⃣How much time are educators spending tracking down missing "work" vs. figuring out how to elicit student learning in a remote setting? https://www.wsfa.com/2020/11/13/dr-mackey-grades-are-down-virtual-learning-students/?outputType=amp

What if the previous years' grades that are so frequently being brought up in these news stories for comparison purposes were previously padded by homework assignment completion points? (con't)
And the reason the grades are going down right now is *not* because there's any less learning going on, but instead a reflection on the points students have typically relied upon to "play the game of school"? (con't)
And that game of school they were used to playing? It's not nearly as fun as the Xbox sitting across the room. /end.
