Lockdown, distance learning likely to increase social class achievement gap

Thank you for your posts and insight. As a teacher, the number one thing I ask people with the opinion you're replying to is: "How many teachers do you know who have died from Covid?" If the answer is 0, I will take their point of view with a huge grain of salt. For me, the answer is > 5, and they contracted it in school. These were not extremely old or sick individuals.

How do you know where they contracted it? Given the variable multi-day incubation period, it's usually impossible to reliably determine the point of infection.

They were isolating except school.

You’re sure that you know these >5 adults enough to make that statement confidently? What about their significant others?

IMO you are clearly making an unfounded assumption

That would be an unfounded assumption.
