 Dear reader,
With schools constantly shuttering and reopening in these trying coronavirus days, learning has become scattered, chaotic and in some cases nonexistent. Yet there are some unexpected findings for small numbers of students who struggled with in-person teaching and did not thrive in classroom settings: They are doing surprisingly well with virtual learning, a story we bring you this week.
And yet, in other parts of the country, such as San Antonio, Texas, thousands of students never showed up to participate in remote learning and couldn’t be reached by staff there last spring. Poor internet, a lack of laptops, hotspots and instability at home are keeping children all over the country from receiving an education.
👉 This week we also published what we hope is the first installment of a project to showcase reader photographs and videos of how the coronavirus has transformed schools. Please keep submitting images from your corner of the country; we are eager to share them and to hear your stories.
