The 'educational harm' caused by the coronavirus pandemic has been 'devastating,' according to a recent survey of 26 million K-8 students by researchers at Stanford, Johns Hopkins, Dartmouth and Harvard. The researchers also found that the pandemic 'exacerbated economic and racial educational inequality,' as lead authors Tom Kane of Harvard and Sean Reardon of Stanford wrote in a New York Times essay accompanying the release of their findings last week.
. In a brief that summarizes their findings, the Education Recovery Scorecard authors bolster evidence for that correlation.
And those losses, they found, were especially pronounced in communities where parents were employed in “essential” positions that took them away from the home, writing: “Remote learning may have been particularly difficult when adults were less able to help students, as a result of employment obligations.”Kane, Reardon and their colleagues do not blame remote learning for the entirety of the learning loss they chronicled.
Unsurprisingly, children fared better if they had access to broadband internet. Asian and white households are more likely to have such high-speed connections,Similarly, communities where adults voted and households responded to the U.S. census tended to see less learning loss. Mistrust could have been engendered by a variety of factors, including the spread of pandemic-related political misinformation and suspicion stemming from deeply ingrained prejudice.
