There’s already a big gap between America’s best and worst schools. COVID restrictions may make the educational divide even bigger. Harvard’s Professor Joseph Allen puts it this way:
“Right now, occasionally we’ll see a case of COVID in a school that will make headlines. But you can predict the headlines we’re going to see in the coming months and years about kids who disappeared from the system, the virtual dropouts, the loss of learning, the loss of income, which we know happens when kids are left behind with schooling.”
(from the October 2020 Harvard Gazette)
We have no simple answer. We need God’s guidance.
