Liz Willen Dear reader,

A first-grade teacher who last week packed all her belongings from her suburban Boston classroom is now, like teachers everywhere, suddenly at home. Like many of the teachers I’ve been speaking with about collateral damage of the coronavirus, she worries about her students who are just learning to read and who depend on school for stability, routines and relationships with caring adults. Instead, they get a virtual morning greeting over the internet (for those who have access), and the school provides free breakfast and lunch pickup, as many are doing all over the U.S.

The shuttering of schools and shift to homeschooling due to coronavirus concerns everywhere exposes the fragile lives ([link removed]) of vulnerable children, along with the many roles schools and teachers play in their lives. It’s also revealing how uneven and often inadequate ([link removed]) online instruction can be, while the closing of college campuses is sending low-income students scrambling ([link removed]) and creating great uncertainty about how higher education ([link removed]) will cope.

We will continue to bring you stories about how the virus is changing education, with our longstanding focus on inequality and innovation. We also want to hear yours. Stay safe and stay in touch.

Liz Willen, Editor

Main Idea


** Ready or not, a new era of homeschooling has begun ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------
As coronavirus concerns shutter school around the world, will poor students be left behind?
Reading List


** Closing campuses doesn’t necessarily move vulnerable people out of harm’s way ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------
When campuses close, some students have nowhere to go, increasing their risk for the coronavirus.



** Traveling to the African Diaspora to prepare black students for college ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------
A charter school principal wants more of her black students stick with college. So she’s taking them to places in the African Diaspora to show how black people have persisted and succeeded in the face of adversity.



** Already stretched universities now face tens of billions in endowment losses ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------
Another threat to U.S. universities and colleges is looming: tens of billions of dollars in potential endowment losses stemming from the market meltdown following the virus outbreak and a global price war over oil.



** In some states, high school seniors get into college without even having to apply ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------
Taking the stress out of the college application process encourages more students to go.



** College administrators wrestle with whether to close classrooms amid the coronavirus ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------
But some students are calling on their schools to stay open for all, saying it will cause them less hardship than if their campuses close.
