Those children that were denied an education during the Covid years, should be encouraged, extorted and or finally forced to go back and get at least an 8th grade education. That's just the way it is. Killing 3-6 every week-end in Chicago is not going to be enough.

In your statistics, remove the private, religious and charter schools and see how bad the numbers really are.
Governments destroyed public education during the Covid-19 "crisis". Truth be told, the numbers were headed that way anyway, but the shuttering of schools accelerated the process without a doubt.
I think remote learning can work for secondary school aged kids, depending upon the kid and how involved the parents become, but primary aged school kids need to be in the classroom to get the kind of education they need, both with respect to the 3 R's and socialization.

Unfortunately so many elementary school teachers would prefer to deliver propaganda on racism, Trans rights, and environmentalism than actually teaching English and Math.
