There are new numbers to go along with claims that online classes are leaving school kids in Wisconsin behind.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Milwaukee Public Schools on Wednesday said just over 30% of high school students failed the fall semester.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Data from Milwaukee schools showed 30.3% of MPS high schoolers failed last fall, compared to 18.8% in the fall of 2019.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The difference, besides the huge increase, is that Milwaukee Public Schools were online only in the fall of 2020.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The revelation comes as Milwaukee schools prepare to welcome some students back to class next month. MPS\u2019 board this week approved a return to in-person classes for kids in elementary school and junior high. MPS will bring high school seniors back, but freshmen, sophomores, and juniors will continue to learn from home.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
