education trust based on historical exam results? yes, i do. viewers? because that is key. i think a lot of people are not clear about why the algorithm is designed in that way. 0k, the algorithm is designed in that way. ok, so what happened is, if you have got small a—level groups which a lot of private schools have, and a lot of small sixth forms have, then the centre assessment grades were awarded because statistically it would not have been fair to use the algorithm. if you are a new school and you have the first sixth form, you have no history so for those schools, the centre assessment grades have been awarded. then in order to keep the normal distribution curve, that means that the rest of us have had our grade downgraded in order to maintain the numbers across the whole system and thatis numbers across the whole system and that is why it is unfair. and some would say that that is actually cementing structural inequality in an institution. all this idea about social mobility or educational mobility through academic attainment, it's quest

i've been speaking to ani magill who's chief executive of xavier catholic education trust.hools in surrey, three of which are seconday comprehensive schools. i asked her how different her student's a—level results had been after they'd been moderated. they were down overall about 20%. what i think the government needs to remember, that at the centre of this are actual children. these students are the students that did not get to sit the exams that they had worked so hard for, and they didn't get to take part in all those events that mark the end of their school life, like their prom and saying goodbye to their friends and everything. and it's really not good enough to say, "well, it's ok because lots of people are going to university." if you have worked really hard on your teacher tells you you're going to get three as and you open up a bit of paper and the formula says you have got three bs instead, or even worse, you were meant to get to three ds and the formula says that you've failed an exam you didn't even sit, we all remember our a—level results forever. and i think

also joining us his doctor alicia smith the executive director of e education trust west. thank you both for joining us. >> it to be here. >> julia let's start with you. most of california's schoolchildren are going back to school this month but online only. there is a process to get a waiver for elementary school ds. can you teus about the criteria? >> schools and districts which are in counties where the caseload is under 200 per 100,000 residents, they can apply. than they have to meet all sorts of safety crittsia, plere distance learning, small cohorts of kids, a clear communication plan with parents. what they will do if a case services, there are a lot of things they had to plan for including the labor if their public schools before they can get approved by their local public health authority. >> a leash i want to lk to you about a poll you conducted with the advocacy organization you conducted a couple of surveys, one parents of school- aged children through th grade another from zero through age 5 , what concerns did you hear from parents particularly when it comes

want to bring in john breaking junior, the education secretary in the obama administration and education trust. john, good to see you. thank you so much. good evening to you. >> good everyonning, thanks for having me on. >> more than 300 students in georgia have quarantined in the last week. more than a dozen letters sent to parents after 38 students tested positive. are the worst fears of many parents and health experts coming true right now? >> sadly, yes. this was all avoidable. this is a product of mismanagement of this pandemic from the beginning by the current administration. our international peers have been able to open schools safely but that's because they have the pandemic under control. we still don't have rapid response testing. we still don't have contact tracing. we don't have good systems of compliance around masks and many places around the country and the result is all of this burden is now falling on schools and sadly, to the extent schools open against public health guidance, we're going to see more cases. not just among kids but families, teachers, staff and it all could h

with us is lisa smith of the education trust west.tricts learn lessons from what happened on the back end of school last year. you have technological disparities. have the lessons been learned so thing will be better come late september this year? >> thank you for having me, john. there have been some lessons learned and we have a ways to go, because there is so much disparity in how this is playing out this fall. what we heard from parents across california, students are still access iing devices. there are some places that are doing a really great job of thinking about that, other places that have a long ways to go. >> as we gao through this debate, 13,000 school districts, depends where you live, does the uncertainty add to the problem. if you're a parent and still don't know if yourle is district going to be all remote learning, how much does the uncertainty complicate the already disparity issues? >> we know it is not helpful to the disparities that existed well before the coronavirus came to our shores. we know in schools that s

he is now the president and ceo of the education trust. you can hear the desperation in those words. the safe school openings happen without national standards, without a national plan, without funding? what should we be doing differently? >> in part of what is so heartbreaking about a superintendent talking that way, it didn't have to be this way. the failure of the trump administration to adequately address the pandemic is how we got here. this isn't a school's issue, it is a society issue. we don't have testing. we don't have contract tracing. we don't have effective systems of quarantining. we don't have a national strategy around following the best science or public health. the consequences are being visited on schools now faced with this impossible decision. we have to protect the safety of kids and, yet, of course, educators know how harmful it is when kids are missing so much school. >> it seems like an impossible situation, and i say that not just as a journalist but as a parent, as well. here's the cover of this week's "new york"

public education by local groups , by people they trust in their community is the only answer. they are not going to trust the institutions. kick it to secretary griswold who does have to leave comment.this i would encourage people in the chats to throw some love to secretary oswald so i can -- secretary griswold so i can mention that after she leaves. coloradansld: 75% of vote -- who vote by mail drop it by dropbox. ballot in the it state primary and it is between 70% and 80% return them to a dropbox. we see that the use of mail inlots increased voting communities that have been traditionally cut out of the process. black voter participation by 13%, asian by 11%, latino 10%. it is important to secretary merrill's point to really partner to community groups. we work with community groups who are going into prisons to make sure that as people come out, they know they are registered to vote. we worked with many of the leaders of the protests to make , notthat we try to shift shift but complement the energy of protests with the energy of voting. we organized a march to the pole --

vote to society and to keep people from losing the right to vote, we found that proactive education from trusted voices, and communities of color has been critical in ensuring they have access to the voting right and engaged in the proce process, on top of that working with community leaders to communicate the opportunities to receive their ballots, return their ballot, whether we you return it through drop boxes, the goal is to take democracy to the citizens, meet people where they're at, delivered to them the system of voting that they want, that's what we done in michigan a partner with the citizens to amend the state to expand voting rights and other things in our state, the work that i've done throughout my career and organizing the community is to ensure that people know their voting rights in working with secretary of state to make sure the process runs out it is critical, i'm grateful for the work that people are doing for the city of detroit and other cities daughter state and the norm is health crisis in the normans economic crisis and the crisis of affecting our communities of color a

here's our education correspondent, elaine dunkley. trust our teachers! by the system. maddie was hoping to study law at oxford university but has missed out on her place. she wants the government to follow scotland's example and upgrade results in line with teachers‘ predictions. we want a u—turn, like scotland has done. they've admitted they were wrong and that they were sorry and that's what we need as well. we organise this protest today because it's simply not fair. students across the country have been let down by the system. there is no idea what is going on about the appeal process and that is my future hanging in the balance. quual, the exam regulator, has set out guidance for those appealing based on their mock exams. it will also consider non—exam assessment marks. the rules state that mocks must have been supervised and taken under timed conditions. they must be based on the relevant exam board assessment material and must have been completed by the 20th of march. however, if the grade submitted by school or college is lower than the mock grad

to go into that period where the education secretary is so little trusted by such a large section ofgovernment and dangerous for our schools. so they certainly won't be wanting any more erosion of his authority. let's talk about schools authority. let's talk about schools a bit more. the daily mail announcing the results of a poll that they've done, saying that voters are sending a message to borisjohnson voters are sending a message to boris johnson about his voters are sending a message to borisjohnson about his government. not letting down children again by failing to reopen schools next month — but jason, you failing to reopen schools next month — butjason, you sense failing to reopen schools next month — but jason, you sense a failing to reopen schools next month — butjason, you sense a message from the daily mail, as well? let's first look at the findings of the pole. this is quite grim for the government here, an overwhelming majority, including of conservative voters, think they have mishandled the exams crisis. that's not a great deal surprising, it's obvious they have. now

i think that a lot of this funding also needs to go into outreach and education campaigns around building trustbut we also need to see from this administration that they are going to put the time and effort into vaccine development that we need for the public to be reassured. also this funding should also be going into testing and tracing. the vaccine is important, but it's going to be a while before we have one. we need to make sure we have a testing and tracing infrastructure in place, and we're still waiting for that. >> we get so many questions from our viewers and listeners on sirius satellite radio. i want to ask one of you here. this is a question -- i'm not sure which viewer. we don't have a name. a viewer asks, has there been any evidence that the loss of sense of smell is an indicator for children that have covid-19 but don't have other symptoms? seems that a smell test might give better results than the temperature checks being proposed. what do you think about that? >> what we do know from the temperature checks is that they're not really useful because a certain proportion of patie

years, and it is particularly around children in disadvantaged backgrounds, the sutton trust that will set education reports from early on showing all the progress that has been made over the last ten happened 20 years has in months been wiped out for some because middle—class affluent families with parents that are able to take on some of the slack with computers and physical space in which children least ru na round, physical space in which children least runaround, imagine if you are a large family in one or two rooms and with very little means of any form of diversion vodafone education of your children. and some private schools, the curriculum has continued without change. children wearing uniform and the entire school day just wearing uniform and the entire school dayjust replicated online. the story beneath that, rishi sunak may raise business rates after the switch, the claw—back? may raise business rates after the switch, the claw-back? -- after the surge. we all knew some sort of taxes would have to be raised at some point, this enormous bailout package will need to be paid for somewhere.

trust me, our educators truly want to be there, but we cannot go back and i hope you will not send yourn back until you can guarantee and the districts can guarantee that they will be safe. >> okay, e. toby boyd, the president of the california teachers association. we appreciate your time and commitment to the schools. thank you so much. >> thank you very much. >>> and we are continuing our commitment to keeping up in the classroom all week. we're going to be looking in depth into the divide between families who have the means to make learns from home work and those who can't afford it. keeping up in the clooassroom as this thursday. >> i think we'll be talk about this for months. up next, flying the flag. the bay area unlike most prepared to support the black lives matter movements. feel like you've watched all the things? now there's more to love with xfinity x1, the ultimate entertainment experience. like live sports. they're back with the best way to watch. and more streaming apps all in one place. more classics. more premiers. plus, more to easily find using just your voice. hello
