Where Are Our Children (during the pandemic)?

This week's episode of Create the Village asks the question, “Are we living through a temporary bubble where low-income children stop attending school or underperform, or are we seeing a trend that will live with us for decades?”

Jill Barshay and Egbert Perry discuss the barriers to educational attainment for children from modest-income households during the pandemic and the lasting impact of a lost generation of students.

Barshay is a staff writer and editor who writes the weekly “Proof Points” column about education research and data for Hechinger Report. Topic: During a worldwide pandemic, educational contrast between wealthy and modest-income families and between the races.
