In September of 2020, around me all of the private schools were open for in person learning 5 days a week, all of the public schools were online only. Later in the school year, public schools moved to a modal of 1/2 the class being in person and 1/2 the class being online for any given day except for Monday where all students were online only. Finally, a few weeks before the end of the year, public schools allowed all students to return to class for the entire week. Private schools did not see major outbreaks of Covid. Teachers at private schools were no more likely to get Covid than the general population. This generation of kids will pay a heavy price for these school shutdowns.
