US: Mid-semester, many L.A. students are drifting, beset with anxiety and struggling in class

Another angle, from the US, on how online learning as done by schools not used to it seems to be failing many students as reported in The Los Angeles Times.

Every day, almost every one of Nicolle Fefferman’s students logs into her virtual classrooms at John Marshall High School in Los Feliz. A significant number do not turn their cameras on. Many don’t respond when she asks questions and don’t turn in work she assigns offline.

When the history teacher issued her 10-week progress reports, nearly one-third of her students were failing.

“I have almost 100% attendance. But that doesn’t necessarily mean 100% participation,” Fefferman said. “They’re showing up, but they’re not necessarily engaging.”

Yet another indication from around the world that technology has not been fully integrated into schools despite decades of claims that it has.
