Reopening Schools Is Critical. Teachers Should Do More to Help.
For the children of educated parents who work at home, distance learning is annoying. (Cavanaugh s third-grader called it all the boring parts of school and none of the fun parts. )
For kids who already start at a disadvantage, have no parent at home to coach them through the lessons, live in crowded conditions, and have limited internet access, the long-run results could be devastating. In Los Angeles, Black and Latino middle and high school students were surely set back the most after campuses closed in March, with comparatively few of them actively using school system s online education platform, according to a report released on Thursday. Disadvantages, especially in early grades, can easily compound over time.
