Abstract
From experience, students usually drop their achievement levels only when faced with a situation beyond their control. Situations that impact them are physical, mental, or both, such as bullying, family sickness, or death. The global pandemic that swept the world was a situation that has globally affected all human beings. This impact was substantial from a humanistic well-being perspective and economically and academically. The economic and human impact was an experience that could be seen directly within the schools of Qatar. Large swathes of children showed lower academic levels than predicted before the pandemic. When we returned from Covid, levels of learning were below what teachers expected. Globally, government and school expectations were for children to catch up. In Qatar, this was also the expectation. Schools behaved in such a way that they required children to continue as if they had not missed a second of education. Experience and observation showed differently.
