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 …

It's not just that. Most private schools aren't shutting down. And once the better-off families who previously used public schools are ready to send their kids back to school, they won't want to send them where kids missed 1+ years of learning.https://twitter.com/WesPegden/status/1283850903909433344 …

Wes Pegden @WesPegdenThe effects of closures on the long-term viability of public schooling as an institution seem underestimated by all the parties involved. For example, the politics surrounding school vouchers and charter schools seem likely to see a seismic shift, even after reopening happens.2/Show this thread1 reply 0 retweets 3 likes -

It's not just this generation of kids that will see long-term irreversible damage, but the institution of public schooling itself.

Yeah. This may be a permanent fissure for the elementary school age generation.
