@Adam Lee Yea, at my school so far 270 kids have been forced to quarantine due to at least 15 minutes of being within 6 feet of someone with COVID-19 (including me). With the schools own numbers that my stats teacher showed us the chance of getting COVID given you were quarantined from exposure was most likely was only a few percentage points higher than those who weren't. It really spikes whenever we have holidays though. I think going back to school is largely fine with basic safety precautions, wear a mask and social distance where possible, because even if it rarely affects students there's still teachers, faculty, and parents to worry about. I like our system where students/parents can choose online or in person, if someone's scared they don't need to go.

We'll end up with the few who were educated and able to get a high-tech job, and then everyone else, who were left behind or otherwise living in the scraps, as more and more jobs get automated. Ultimately, a middle class will be almost nonexistent, or left to the high-middle class, and then the ever-present small, but significant, class of multi-billionaires will of course remain and have more influence than ever. In the end of the day, when their only competition is just a small educated work force, and then a huge, but insignificant (in terms of influence) poorer population, then it just doesn't end well. In the end, after a certain point where enough people have nothing left to lose, and are angry at the system, you end up seeing the riots and something that makes the Capitol Riots look like a joke in comparison.

@@szzk7937 Per the American Psychological Association, the heritability of IQ (as we measure intelligence currently) is estimated at around 75% by adulthood. This means that most of the difference between person A’s IQ and Person B’s IQ is attributable to their genetic differences (genes inherited by their parents). These estimates began with some of the first research done on intelligence, or “g”, as a construct of general cognitive abilities that underlie most academic tasks. Beginning with family studies (twin studies, adoption studies), the heritability of intelligence is now, I believe, mostly confined to molecular genetic research. However, one should keep in mind that the word most is important. There is still that 25% (or more) attributable to non-genetic factors. Environmental factors can, and do, exert an influence on the development of one’s intelligence. Unfortunately, this tends to be mostly one-way. That is, poor environmental influences can have significantly negative effects on intellectual development while positive (or neutral) environmental influences have minor to no significant effect on one’s IQ.

The issue with being a "poor kid" is that your parents are almost never there. Always working (especially if divorced) and you have nothing but yourself and probably shady friends in a similar situation who have no one to teach them anything valuable. This is part of the cycle of poverty.

True story. Someone that went to my friend’s school was medically ill and miss many days of school. School didn’t bother to notice until parents told them their child was dead and won’t be attending school. Parents were too busy with hospital and doctor stuff to call in. She eventually goes to warn our other friend about it as she got a job offer to teach there.

I live about 30 minutes away from Detroit and I have a family member that teaches in Detroit Public Schools. She said she’s not even surprised when only 2 people show up for class :(

I was chronically absent from school a lot as a kid due to illness. Those were days with no education at all. It is incredibly difficult to make up for that time lost, even with all the supports I had from family and the healthcare system. I don't how these teachers and students manage to make up for lost time.

Now this is quality content Vice. Good job, more like this.

Two days a month??? Bro that’s light. Like that’s no big deal. Let a kid breathe

as a hybrid schedule student, i feel that the attendance issue is completely on the students home life. my parents work from home, so i do work when i’m at home because i have no choice. but students whose parents work all day and aren’t there have a harder time. they can’t ask questions, get help or be held accountable. my school doesn’t even make us go to zoom meetings on days we are at home. the school needs to go fully face to face because the kids who don’t do at home work, show up everyday we have in person.

I live in the UK. Even if i took my kids out of school for a holiday during term time, you can be fined or go to jail.

My freshman year of high school I skipped enough periods that it added up to 30 something full day absences or so. I got threatened with truancy and almost had to go to court. I started showing up and just causing trouble. Watching this I feel so bad. I came from a privileged area, but took it for granted. I had no reason to skip that much or not show up days, I just didn’t feel like it.

I respect these teachers and that reverend they really care. And to all those kids I hope they keep pushing forward

it’s sooo vital for children to go to school from the very beginning (staring at preschool and kindergarten). and it sucks some kids don’t have that opportunity or something is stopping them and that sooo sad. and during this pandemic has not made it easy for those children. my mom works with kids like kids in this video and i feel for the teachers but mostly the children

I’m a teacher in Texas but I went to school and used to teach in PA. At my high school and at some of the ones I worked at there was basically a loophole where as long as you were present in the morning for homeroom, you were marked “present” for the day even if you left in the middle of the day. I would usually leave just before or after lunch since I already had been marked present for the day. I remember my first year teaching the school I worked at realized kids were doing this and they cracked down on us about making sure we do attendance for every class.

What can be done to help these kids, families, communities??? I would be willing to help in some way if I know how to.

I don’t know about you guys but as a student myself I find it hard to stay awake for a class and that’s how I miss most of them

This means that most of the difference between person A’s IQ and Person B’s IQ is attributable to their genetic differences (genes inherited by their parents). These estimates began with some of the first research done on intelligence, or “g”, as a construct of general cognitive abilities that underlie most academic tasks. Beginning with family studies (twin studies, adoption studies), the heritability of intelligence is now, I believe, mostly confined to molecular genetic research. However, one should keep in mind that the word most is important. There is still that 25% (or more) attributable to non-genetic factors. Environmental factors can, and do, exert an influence on the development of one’s intelligence. Unfortunately, this tends to be mostly one-way. That is, poor environmental influences can have significantly negative effects on intellectual development while positive (or neutral) environmental influences have minor to no significant effect on one’s IQ.

I mean imagine being ghosted by a date and then trying to get them to respond back to you; really awkward, and an uphill battle. We're being ghosted by our students, and the same problems remain except that their futures actually depend on responding back to us, and the vast majority of them just won't. The other problem is that tutoring services are required to meet certain retention/participation rates in order to keep getting funding and those requirements have not been adjusted to account for these circumstances, so a lot of them will be cut or ended this summer right before we're going to need them the most. We're trying really hard, going WAYY out of our job descriptions to get the students engaged, but online is just not the same as in person. While I do worry about my job not being here come this August, I'm more worried about all the students who are not going to have our tutoring around anymore; especially since the program I work for has been around for 25 years with so many first gen high school grads successfully becoming university graduates because of our extra support and encouragement to make them realize they are more capable than the stereotypes that follow them. Once again, it's the poor communities who suffer most.

And if you have multiple children trying to attend classes Zoom style with video and audio, you're going to need decent internet and devices that can keep up. So many problems that were there all along came to light during the pandemic.

Im a junior In high school Im 16 and honestly online school really has taken me downhill as teens we all are upset that we can’t be at school we’re just at home everyday all day. My school the teachers sometimes just say ok here’s the work do it don’t do oh well and then just leave and let us have the whole period off like how is that teaching ? How is that allowing us to learn ?

This is exactly why I've been anti lockdown since the beginning of the 2020-2021 school year. I work in a socio-economically impacted neighborhood and see how these families suffer the most.

I dropped out of school due to chronic health conditions, i physically could not attend. They sent us a court letter threatening to send me and my father to jail just months before i was going to turn 18. The entire system is fucked. I'm glad these kids at least had a nice guy showing up to their house and praying, instead of getting served a court letter.

The mom with four kids in school... all I can say is it’s really shitty that such a situation exists that she’d have to choose between her own education and her kids. This pandemic had put a much bigger lense on the immense issues we have as a country regarding education. I sincerely hope these lessons lead to better funding, and better structures to foster learning for all.

That neighborhood of Detroit is no joke one of the saddest places on earth even just to drive through

I’m not going to lie I missed a good chunk of the school year but the people didn’t try to reach out to me until March these people don’t care about kids education all they care about is getting paid because at the end of the day they still get paid even if 10% of the class shows this is why the education system in Detroit scratch that the whole country is messed up it’s just worse in Detroit sadly

Even when the corona wasn't a thing in Philippines. Many students have been missing school attendance due to negligence. Some of them miss almost all the school days in a week and still pass the semester

That seemed like a surprisingly low number to me.

If you have an environment where you can socialize and the drive to learn something you will learn whatever you want. School as it is now is a 200 plus year old system thats not changed. It provides basically no advantage aside from a scholarship to student loan debt school

Huge respect

2 weeks and four days is not a lot of school to miss. If he had said over a month I would have become concerned.

This is critical to changing people’s lives. Hard work. Making sure kids are being guided into better lives. No judgement. Just get the job done anyway you can.

@Louie Ruiz Many of the families are single parent. In the end, you can go on and on about it's their job, but they aren't getting the job done and it's chronic. Force a change in some way and hope the next generation get a good education and don't get pregnant early etc etc...

@@Augfordpdoggie Yes and that is a valid point of view but when we punish children because of their parents mistake we have a problem. Yes those parents should have known they couldn't afford a child. Is that the child's fault? should that child have less access to knowledge and information? We should stop focusing on who made the mistake and start focusing on the problem.
