All available data is showing that this past year has been detrimental to poor students. Imagine trying to learn on an old phone, using a cellular internet connection in a bedroom you share with your sister. So, while I'm glad you enjoyed your year at home -- the focus here was on the impact on students.

That isn't true. The parent comment said the "entire population" lost a year of their lives. K-12 students are about 17% of the US population, not all of it.

In my urban school district, areas with the largest concentration of poor students are the ones that most strongly support continued distance learning. Affluent + white families are the ones most opposed.
