This session, I started working on my Argument

Browse Source 
file. I added the introduction,and the data overview. I started the
data analysis but I get a little frustrated with the way I have my data formatted
and the way the indexing works with pandas. Ifigured out that I need to use
'loc' and/or 'ilock' for how I want to use my data. Tomorrow I will
attempt to use these to start my analysis.

"*✏️ Write 2-3 sentences describing your research.*"
"*In my teaching residency placement, I have noticed that the students in my physics class lack the fundamental mathemetical and computational reasoning skills that they should have achieved by grade level. I have been hearing from veteran teachers that their cohorts who were in middle school during the pandemic are the most prominent victims of this situation. I want to compare the Algebra I Regents performance of cohorts that were 8th graders before, during and after the COVID-19 pandemic. I chose the anchoring grade level as 8th grade because traditional this is when the students should have been learned and practiced their fundamentals of algebra*"
