HISD’s first grading period was 100% virtual learning, which is now raising concerns as to if kids need to go back to the classrooms. Watch the video above for more details.
HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — Houston Independent School District said 42% of its students failed one or more classes in the first grading period.Story continues below advertisementIn a statement, Texas’ largest school district said the first grading period included six weeks of 100% virtual education. Students returned back to school for face-to-face instruction on Oct. 19.
As classes resumed following Thanksgiving break, the district says 59% of its students have chosen virtual instruction as opposed to 41% who have chosen in-person learning.
In a meeting before the break, the HISD’s Teachers Union asked the school district to go fully virtual after Thanksgiving due to the prolonged and ongoing COVID-19 surge.
Following the meeting with HISD, Dewey said the district told the federation there is no decision at this time and currently as it stands, students will be returning online and in-person.

If you thought K-12 was failing in substance to educate kids before it’s absolute chaos now.
Colleges and universities are in the same boat. and there is no end in sight. It’s an insane failure. If you are a person of faith, you’d better be praying Trump pulls a rabbit out of the hat and gets a second term. What is going on is positively Orwellian!
P.S. Little kids in particular have difficulty sitting still in class and not being distracted. Just imagine how ineffective ” virtual learning” is! Students in colleges and universities are having the same problems. It’s not for everyone, even as an adult! The grades are so bad, some colleges and universities are opting for pass/fail instead of grades with a generous spread for hiding true failures. It’s a total disaster for the majority of students.
It’s a lost year and looks like it will continue with no end in sight. The virus is an excellent tool to CONTROL people and used at will to make your life miserable and SHOW you are submitting to pure tyranny. New strains will develop and it will continue.

This education failure, will most likely not be limited to just Houston. As time goes on with this nonsense, there will be many more school districts with similar, or worse statistics.

I drive for Uber in lift. Whenever I have a student in the car I always ask them whether or not they’re studies have suffer because of virtual learning. 100% of them say yes.Some slightly and some I’ve actually had grades slip a notch. The teachers are not very fond of it either. Both are very anxious to get back into the classroom and continue with real education. The only thing holding them back is the bureaucrats and the bogus scare of the Wuflu.
