Pandemic Reflections: Education and Society
This chapter reflects on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on children's education and well-being, particularly highlighting the disparate effects on lower-income families. The speakers critique societal behaviors during lockdowns, such as monitoring neighbors and the prioritization of mask mandates over children's needs. They also discuss broader implications for future generations, including the demoralization of boys in education, the evolution of political responses, and the contrasting experiences of raising families in New York versus Florida.
