More than half of the parents of school-age children think their child learned less over the past year according to the 2021 Louisiana Survey. LSU Public Policy Research Lab Director Mike Henderson says 56-percent believe their child’s education was hindered by the pandemic.
“Especially if the kids were in an online, remote or hybrid format, maybe they feel like they didn’t learn as much,” said Henderson.
Despite more than half of parents saying their child didn’t learn as much this past year, Henderson says 77-percent are not blaming the school system.
“Things didn’t go as well as they could of when it comes to what my child has learned, but I’m not going to blame the schools and teachers,” said Henderson.
Henderson says responses in Louisiana mirrored national data.
The Louisiana Survey polled 781 adults in the state from January 4th to March 1st.
