Some families can manage to keep their kids learning and less-stressed. Others, with less resources, won't be able to do so. I suspect the ones left behind will pay a huge, lifelong price, will never catch up, and, sadly, show up in every research study for the next four decades.https://twitter.com/rorycooper/status/1303319674164318209 …

Because the news has become nationalized, and national news outlets employ writers from the professional, college-educated middle class who largely live in high-cost urban centers like New York and Washington. The people who write and edit the narrative are people of means.

I have wondered the following thought experiment: What if school was canceled for every.single.student for one year. If everyone has a 1 year set-back, are there really winners and losers?

What all of us reasonable people need to understand is that mean-spiritedness is an aspect of personality type, and (in today's cultural environment) positions of power attract authoritarian personalities. 1/2

I suggest reading "Authoritarian Nightmare" (Dean & Altemeyer) and incorporating the last half of the book into your thinking about this. Doing so makes the problem a lot harder but brings us closer to reality, I believe. 2/2
