3．School districts across the United States have reported that the number of students failing classes has risen many times higher than usual numbers.
Educators see a number of factors.Students learning from home often miss assignment -- or school completely.Internet availability is limited or not effectively established，making it difficult to complete and upload assignments.And teachers not seeing their students in person have fewer ways to note who is falling behind.That is especially true with many students keeping their cameras off during online classes.
The increase in failing grades has been seen in districts of all sizes around the country.In the Salem-Keizer Public School district，hundreds of students at first had grade scores of 0.0% .This showed that students simply were not taking part in school at all.In New Mexico，more than 40% middle and high school students were failing at least one class as of late October.In Houston，Texas，42% students received at least one F in the first grading period of the year，double the amount in a usual year.
For it，schools have taken measures.Some schools are giving students more time to complete assignments.Advisory teams have increased contact with students.Teachers have been asked to temporarily stop assigning graded homework.And parents of Hispanic students were invited to learn how they can see their children's grades onljye.aie.In Charleston，administrators are considering bringing in a grading system which permits instructors to give 50s instead of 0s to make it less harmful to students' grades. "I'm an English teacher，not a math teacher，but I've learned zeros are very，very damaging to an average，" Jody Stallings said.

I grew up in a small town about a hour outside of Chicago. There were only a handful of local shops and cafes， and everyone know their neighbors as there were only twenty thousands people in the whole town! My parents used to let my brother and me walking to and from kindergarten every morning， and we were allowed to do whichever we like before dark. The only thing we had to worry about was getting bite by insects or getting sunburned from staying outdoor for too long! After high school，I went to college in the city. Taking the subway was much faster than riding my bike. People from all over the world spoke languages I never heard before. There were huge department stores where sold everything. The entertainment at all hours was my most favorite thing about the city.组卷：7引用：1难度：0.9
