Topics
Alexis Madrigal: 我主持了本次关于疫情对年轻人持久影响的讨论,讨论了学业恢复、心理健康和社会情绪发展等方面的问题,并邀请了多位专家和学生分享他们的看法和经验。 Robin Lake: 疫情对学生的学业造成了严重影响,许多学生尚未恢复到疫情前的水平,尤其是有色人种学生和低收入学生受影响最大。我们应该关注这些弱势群体,为他们提供更多支持和帮助。 Petra Steinbuchel: 疫情导致儿童和青少年的焦虑、抑郁和自杀倾向显著增加,对不同年龄段的孩子影响不同。家庭和照顾者的支持对孩子的恢复至关重要。 Emily Zavala: 疫情期间,学生的心理健康问题加剧,线上学习导致学生对电子设备的依赖增加,影响了他们的社交能力和情绪管理能力。 Aria Rani Sindledecker: 作为一名学生,我亲身经历了疫情期间的线上学习和社交隔离,这让我更加依赖电子设备,也加剧了我的焦虑和社交压力。 Sarah: 疫情后,学校需要重新建立学生的社交结构和课堂管理,学生需要重新学习基本的社交行为。 Leigh: 疫情期间,部分学生因居家学习获得了更多的休息和灵活性,反而受益。 Tatiana: 疫情期间,家长更容易发现孩子的学习差异,并申请特殊教育和504计划。 Krista: 疫情期间,中学生和高中生在社交成熟度上明显落后,需要教练和老师的关注和帮助。 Moshe: 疫情期间,电子游戏成为青少年与朋友保持联系的主要方式,但也导致了成瘾问题。特殊教育学生失去了大量的学习时间。 Heather: 学校实施无手机政策,改善了学生的学术专注力和社交互动。 Patrick: 疫情期间,孩子的屏幕使用时间失控,导致严重的焦虑和抑郁。

Shownotes Transcript

The average American student is “less than halfway to a full academic recovery” from the effects of the Covid pandemic. That’s according to a 2024 report by the Center on Reinventing Public Education. Studies show that lockdown also took a toll on kids’ mental health, as well as social and emotional skills. And like other Covid impacts, these challenges often hit students of color the hardest. In the first of our series of shows examining the effects of the pandemic as we reach five years since lockdown, we’ll look at how children, adolescents and young adults are faring.
