@FixingEducation I researched the “learning pyramid” once. Wanted to know where these numbers came from. Turns out they are invented. There is no scientific or research base to this. There was an idea like this published, with a pyramid, but later numbers were arbitrarily assigned to the graphic.

We’ve all seen the Learning Pyramid before. We need an update… Students retain 0% of material when they are chronically absent. Is it just me or has post pandemic life made attendance optional for many students?
