How the pandemic exposed the deep inequities within the US education system
In short: The sudden transition to online learning during COVID-19 revealed fundamental flaws in American schools. Educator Nora Flanagan explores how we can use this disruption to reinvent education for students, teachers, and families.
The abrupt shift to remote learning during the COVID-19 pandemic acted as a catalyst, unearthing long-standing inequities embedded in the foundations of the US education system. Rather than viewing this as a temporary setback, Nora Flanagan suggests the crisis offers a rare opportunity to reframe the current moment. By rethinking how schools operate, we can begin to fix systemic issues that have long been broken for students, teachers, and families alike, paving the way for a reinvented post-pandemic educational landscape.
