I don't understand how is not topic number one. Keeping young kids out of formal schooling and in high-stress, little/no supervision situations for a year or more—that's where we're headed—is potentially a life-changing event for children whose families cannot cushion the impact.

It's not just the loss of academic learning. Some of the kids stuck at home without school, even if a few hours in a tent outdoors, are going through a very difficult time. But the loss of learning matters, too. Likely irreparable in our already highly-unequal K-12 system.

PhDs are going to be earned for decades on data from this cataclysm. So many long-term implications!

THIS! They're intentionally forcing the school system into a collapse.

Well, on the upside we have a large (largest?) natural experiment which will be infinite grist for the social sciences mill. Generations of unborn children will get their PhDs studying 2020 and its shock waves.

What I’m struck by is that kids are pretty elastic and it’s probably possible to help a lot of them catch up. But we won’t, because we’ve just demonstrated systemic inflexibility on top of long term inequities. Why would anyone believe we could manage a period of correction?

The systemic inflexibility is crazy. I was on the reopening committee of the local school district that has all the resources to do outdoor schooling and it just decided not to because of beauricratic inertia. So my wife took on a new job and we put our kid in private school.

Schools, and parents that send their kids to school are not prepared to open safely.
