"So, is Covid the shock that leads to the education system being reinvented for the better" I don't really see how this would happen, or even how they connect.

"So, is Covid the shock that leads to the education system being reinvented for the better" I don't really see how this would happen, or even how they connect. Covid is keeping our schools from even being schools. It's displaying the flaws in our larger system, but it doesn't really speak at all to what's good or bad in the classroom itself. EXCEPT that we've had a natural experiment where kids are removed from the classroom, and it turns out classrooms are pretty good educational environments compared to remote school or ad hoc home school! If anything this indicates we don't need to reinvent our schools, we just need to reinvent our school HVAC. (We also aren't reinventing school HVAC, which is disappointing because of all the options in front of us that's about the easiest.)
