      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 …

      The system of haves and have nots right now is bad and getting worse. Families leaving public schools. At risk kids in crisis. Geography and politics informing decisions. This requires our attention.

      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.

      What on earth happened to the alleged entrepreneurial spirit of this country? Obviously not every school everywhere can open, but there seems to be so little movement to at least *try* to do something for at least the most vulnerable kids...

          If I were to be cynical I’d say “my” school system is thinking twice because the parents are such a pain in the ass. It covers 160k kids from “no English spoken at home” immigrants to law partners in 6k sq ft houses and we nearly had elite led class warfare over starting HS later

          I think they could, as a matter of logistics, find a way to get kids and especially vulnerable kids in buildings but the (noisy wealthier) parents would find a way to screw it up for everyone

          "entrepreneurial spirit" sounds great but entrepreneurs are allowed to select for good resources (and to fail) in ways that schools cannot be.

          A lot of paralysis due to liability issues, and also our bureaucratic structures penalize any kind of real leadership.

          This is what put me over the edge. Where’s the creativity? The sense of urgency? We worship tech founders but the person who suggests erecting tents in parking lots for lunchtime, doing outdoor botany for science and outdoor painting for art is “unrealistic.”
