Lockdown, distance learning likely to increase social class achievement gap

I think some of it is the different priorities between children and adults. For themselves, adults might care more about convenience than learning, given that 1) they have many more important priorities than learning, and 2) adults don't have the ability to learn that much (compared to children). It's the opposite for children of course. Learning is the number one priority.

For me personally, I totally agree that remote work is worse for the learning aspect of the job, and is a total disaster for the social aspect.

IDK about other kids but when I was in school, my number one priority was having fun outside with my friends or playing video games. Learning was never a priority as a kid, but a chore, a forced exercise on the hamster wheel.
