Israeli Educators Fear That Distance Learning Will Lead To ‘Lost Generation’

Those Israeli parents who are still working face a near-mission impossible when it comes to making sure their children are keeping up with their schoolwork.

According to Joint Chairman of the Parents Leadership in Ra’anana Odelia Shindorf, herself a mother of two, “this is a lost school year.”

Remote learning, stated Shindorf, “is causing despair. It’s not effective. But the main issue is loneliness. Parents are reporting tough feelings. We hear that from every home where there are high-schoolers.”

While the numbers prove high schools are COVID-19 hot spots, “The reports forget to take into account the long-term damage, the kids’ emotional difficulties, the lack of effective teaching, the sense of despair, and the system’s lack of preparedness,” said Shindorf.
