SDUSD challenges trends in distance learning scores – Telemundo San Diego (20)

SAN DIEGO- The San Diego Unified School District (SDUSD) said it is challenging trends when it comes to grades during distance learning.

While other school districts in San Diego County have reported huge increases in the number of grades D and F, SDUSD said its data shows otherwise.

“We have not seen that in our district, we have seen the percentage of students receiving D and F decrease this year compared to last year,” said Board Vice President Richard Barrera.

Hispanic and black minors have worse academic performance

The data compares grades during online learning from the beginning of this school year through Thanksgiving with grades during the same period last year when students were in school, face-to-face with their teachers.

The number of students earning A, B, and C grades while pursuing distance learning has increased by 6%, according to the district.

There are personnel under quarantine

There were also fewer D and F grades during online learning.

“There was no late work, so you could turn in any homework at any time and I know that was something very important to many of my friends,” said Nicolás Gardinera, who is a senior in high school in the district.

He and his brother Noah are not enthusiastic about learning online. They say they got good grades, but they didn’t really learn anything.

Specialists are seeing more cases of fatigue and myopia from computer use.

Barrera said that student reaction to online learning ranges from those who find it easy to those who say it’s the hardest thing they’ve ever done.

“The challenges for all students are real,” said Barrera.

In addition to the positive news, Barrera said there is concern for those students who failed all grades, “the functional equivalent of giving up,” he said. “There is no question that many of our students are going to need our support to get out of this, even when we return to the classroom.”
