When school closes poor pupils lose a social institution of last resort —one that educates, feeds, counsels and sometimes clothes them— whereas richer pupils are more insulated. A new industry of “learning pods”, where a cluster of families pool cash to pay for an in-person tutor, makes the governess model accessible to many. Scoot Education, whose normal business is providing substitute teachers for schools, quickly developed a sideline in learning pods in California. At least 100 such pods will be in place by the end of August, says James Sanders, the company’s CEO. For younger pupils the total cost of a pod, shared among all parents, is $349 a day.

To some, parents who pay for pods or other tutoring are complicit in deepening inequality. Yet pods are more a flashy symptom of educational inequality than the cause. “Rich families find a way to opportunity- hoard no matter what, even if this pandemic had not started,” says Sarah Cohodes, a professor at Teachers College at Columbia University. Some charities, like the Tennessee Tutoring Corps, have tried to spread access to tutors to less wealthy children, but efforts at scale (a federally funded national tutoring corps, say) look unlikely.
对一些人来说,这些合资聘请家教的父母是加剧不平等的同谋e%gg[~6&5jL。与其说这些家教是教育不平等的诱因,不如说是显著标志PhtvA-;.IvXd。哥伦比亚大学教师学院教授莎拉·科霍兹表示:“无论发生什么情况,即使是在疫情未开始之前,富裕的家庭都能找到囤积机会的方法s43Pzd#jt1aa6;ep。”田纳西州辅导机构等一些慈善机构试图扩大家教教授范围,让不那么富有的孩子也能得到教导,但是这样颇具规模的努力(比如一个由联邦政府资助的国家辅导机构)似乎不可能实现B=Z%rgYpfnV+Bkm
Failure to control the virus probably spells lower future incomes for millions of pupils. Without extraordinary interventions, the long-run effect of the pandemic on these students is predictable. The only question is how deep the damage will be.
