Moving Goalposts

Masks don't retard your kids but they do:

Rather than admit to the damage that they caused by unnecessarily and unscientifically recommending masking small children and isolating lockdowns during a key developmental period, which recommendations were then forced upon the entire nation, the CDC just quietly rewrote history by simply changing the standards and expectations for “normal” speech development in young children.

What used to be standard at 24 months is now considered standard at 30 months. A delay has become the new normal. Because it’s way easier to simply change that “24 months” to “30 months” and pretend like nothing ever happened, than it is to take actual responsibility for the very real and potentially lasting damage your incredibly powerful organization did to an entire nation of children through completely unscientific, illogical, and statistically non-beneficial masking and lockdown recommendations that were forced on the entire nation.

The CDC cited a particular pediatric study on developmental milestones. One author of the study, Jennifer Zubler, explained that the CDC milestone guidelines must be changed to ensure that the guidelines reflect developmental milestones that at least 75% of the nation’s children are capable of meeting. And, due to widespread developmental delays linked to masking and isolation, 75% of the nation’s children are no longer capable of meeting the previous milestones.

 

An immoral and accepted failure.

Enrolment in government-run public schools is on the decline in Canada while attendance at independent institutions is on the rise, according to new research.

The Fraser Institute’s Associate Director of Education Policy Paige MacPherson has found that enrolment in government-run public schools has been going down since the 2006/2007 school year.

Using data from the 2006/2007 school year to the 2019/2020 school year for all grades from K-12, MacPherson has shown that the number of children enrolled in government-run public schools has actually dropped more than a full percentage point – from 93% to 91.8%.

While the national rate of enrolment did not change significantly during this period, eight of the ten provinces saw declining attendance in government-run schools.
