We've been getting a lot of questions about how long we plan to be producing our show.

很多人在問這個節目會持續到何時。

Our current spring season runs through Friday, May 29th.

目前的春季節目會製作到 5/29 星期五，

After that we'll be off the air until Monday August 17th.

之後會暫時停播，直到 8/17 星期一回歸。

If you are a student, chances are you're watching this from home.

如果你是學生，你很有可能是在家看這個節目。

School buildings have been closed in all 50 American states and five American territories though many schools are still in session online.

全美五十州與五個領地的學校都關閉了，許多學校採取線上授課的方式來繼續課程。

In at least 45 states, plus the District of Columbia, students won't be returning to campus at all for the rest of this academic year.

至少有 45 州與哥倫比亞特區，這些地區的學生在這個學年都將不會回到校園。

That might wind up being the case across the entire country, though a few states may give schools the option of reopening before summer break.

結果可能會是全國都變這樣，雖然某些州可能會讓學校在暑假前有機會開校。

Students, teachers, administrators, and parents have made sacrifices to keep the learning going.

學生、老師、主任與家長都為了讓孩子們繼續學習而作出犧牲。

They've missed out on plays, presentations, proms, graduations, sports, science fairs, book fairs, all sorts of trips and competitions adding to this challenge is the summer learning loss also known as the summer setback or the summer slide.

他們錯過了戲劇、演說、舞會、畢業典禮、運動賽事、科學展、書展等，各式各樣的旅行與比賽都取消了，便會導致嚴重的暑期學力流失，又被稱為暑期倒退或暑期滑坡。

It's a time when students forget some of what they've learned during the school year, and it's expected to be worse because of coronavirus shutdowns.

這是指學生忘記了他們在這學年的所學，而新冠疫情預期將會使這個情形更加嚴重。

I'm worried about where they will be if they're going to be at the level they should be at when they get back into school next year.

我很擔心學生們的狀況，當明年回到學校時，他們是否有辦法跟上該有的進度。

I do think though, learning loss is huge.

但我的確認為，會出現很嚴重的學力流失狀況。

Parents across the nation growing increasingly anxious with school closed for months as education experts begin to warn of a possible COVID slide for student heading into summer break.

舉國上下的家長都對學校長期關閉感到焦慮，教育專家也警告疫情與即將到來的暑假，可能會造成學生嚴重的學力流失。

So, it's kind of a double whammy of starting to forget and losing that kind of academic mindset we had at school, and missing out on a couple important ones of instruction.

這有點像是種雙重打擊，我們會開始忘記甚至失去那種在學校學習的思緒，也會錯過某些重要的講課。

Particularly for those young kids where we know learning happens at a really fast rate.

情況在那些小孩子們身上尤其嚴重，因為他們的學習進度通常都很快速。

Drawing on existing data from roughly 5 million students in 3rd through 8th grade, Megan Kufeld a research scientist at the Northwest Evaluation Association has been using learning losses typically seen in the summer to forecast how extended school closures could cause significant backslides for students currently struggling to adapt to remote instruction.

從現有 500 萬名三年級到八年級的資料來看，北西評估中心的研究科學家 Megan Kufeld 從夏季常見的學力流失，預測了此次學校的關閉，可能也會對那些難以適應遠距教學的學生造成嚴重的學力流失。

What we saw was pretty alarming.

現在的情況令人擔憂。

Kufeld predicts that for students working through the toughest conditions now, come fall, they could have retained as little as 70 percent of their reading progress and only 50 percent of gains they've made in math.

Kufeld 預測說，那些情況最糟的孩子，到秋天時可能會忘記三成所學，數學方面則會流失五成所學。

Potentially serious secondary consequences of COVID-19, widening the achievement gap between wealthier and lower income students.

COVID-19 疫情所帶來的另一種潛在傷害，讓富有學童與低收入戶學童的差距逐漸加大。

There's a lot of technology limitations.

有許多的科技限制。

We know many at least don't have access to internet or a quiet place for kids to be learning.

我們知道有許多地方仍沒有網路，也缺乏安靜的場所讓孩子讀書。

Already, teachers like Jill Marangoni a special ed teacher in New York, says she sees the signs of students falling behind.

已經有老師看出異狀，特教老師 Jill Maranon 表示她看見有孩子已經跟不上學業的跡象。

Fifth graders that were strong writers in school who would have never turned in anything without editing it first.

在學校很會寫作的五年級生，他們在交出作業前絕對會好好檢查一遍。

You see what the work they're turning in, it's missing capitals.

但現在你會看到他們繳交的作業出現了許多錯誤。

It's missing punctuation, run-on sentences.

標點符號忘記寫、冗長的句子等。

Just lacking that quality that they had at school and that they just don't have now.

不像他們之前的學校的表現。

And it's not just concerned teachers and parents: kids are stressed about school too.

這不只讓老師與父母感到憂心，有些孩子也覺得很有壓力。

I had a second grader say to me, Miss M, do you think I'm going to be allowed to go to 3rd grade.

有個二年級學生問我：「老師，你覺得我可以升三年級嗎？」

Am I doing Okay?

「我做得還行嗎？」

It breaks your heart to think, like, this is what this seven-year-old is thinking.

聽到這是從一個七歲的孩子口中說出來的話，絕對會傷你的心。

While the full extent of any COVID slide remains to be seen, parents like Kristen DeCarlo, a mom of three in Atlanta, says she hopes teachers are ready to adapt to learning losses whenever classrooms finally reopen.

雖然疫情帶來的學力流失無法避免，亞特蘭大一位三歲小孩的媽媽表示，她希望老師們在學校重新開放時，能夠準備好應對這樣的學力流失。

School systems are going to have to pick up and recognize.

學校系統得趕快認清問題並處理。

They can't expect a child from pre-Algebra into Algebra immediately.

他們不能期許一個孩子直接最初級代數的程度，直接變成能夠會算普通代數。

There's going to have to be some remediation.

這中間還是得需要經過一些過程。
