COVID and the Classroom:
What Did We Learn and Where Do We Go from Here?

Collateral damage in the schools.

Now that the fifteen-month COVID stranglehold on the country is beginning to fade, many areas of society are assessing the damage and making plans to never let this happen again. (Some are desperately trying to hold on to the power they enjoyed while ruining everyone else’s lives, but most people’s patience with them has run out.)

One area in which COVID had the greatest impact on families and communities, of course, was in education. Classes were cancelled or forced to go online. Physical classrooms that stayed open were retrofitted with plexiglass shields, primarily at taxpayer expense, and masks were required of young and old. Forget the traditions of the academic year – no fine arts, no sports, and no graduation ceremonies. Fear of the virus ruled, and students missed a year of their lives.

COVID Exposed the Problems of the Public School System

The pandemic saw many parents re-evaluating their children’s education. As neighborhood schools stayed shut and forced online education, parents looked for additional opportunities with charter, private, homeschooling, and even pod schooling options.

* Did the pandemic forever change public education in America?
* What did COVID-19 expose about public education?
* What can we do to improve educational options for America’s families?


Dr. Corey DeAngelis, Director of School Choice at the Reason Foundation, discusses COVID-19 and our public school system in this video presentation.

On the Bookshelf
From treating COVID patients in her local hospital to fighting for the rights of frontline doctors, Dr. Simone Gold tells her story.

The bumper-sticker directive to ‘follow the science’ was actually an evasion of responsibility. It let people off the hook for their bad decisions in a crisis. Was New York Governor Cuomo’s executive order sending COVID-hospitalized patients back to nursing homes to infect other vulnerable nursing home patients ‘following the science’? Of course not. And sending post-hospitalization COVID-positive patients back to nursing homes was unnecessary. Relative to the total nursing home population, Governor Cuomo contributed to a larger percentage of nursing-home deaths—especially when compared to the states without such a policy. New Jersey’s over seven thousand nursing home deaths account for half of the state’s fatalities since March. Pennsylvania did just as miserably. These governors made specific decisions that cost thousands of the most vulnerable, most expendable, their lives. But they didn’t do it to their own relatives.”
