This is exactly what's going to happen. Many better-off kids are going back to in-person classes this Fall. Poorer kids will suffer from lack of social services (provided via schools) and be left behind in ways that will show up in every research project for the next fifty years.https://twitter.com/nicholedobo/status/1281397462150909954 …

Our failure may permanently bifurcate our already polarized education. After a year of small-group tutoring, those kids may never end up back with their former peers who lost that whole year, even if they were in same class before. Lifelong consequences.

A note on homeschooling pods. 75% of kids who attend NYC public schools are low-income. So while a lot of people on here feel like the conversation about pods is suddenly everywhere - it's not even relevant for the vast majority of kids in this city at least.
