Synopsis

In this opinion piece, Andrea Gabor critiques the expansion of online schooling in U.S. public districts post-pandemic, highlighting evidence that virtual programs often yield poorer academic outcomes, especially for low-income and minority students. Drawing on research showing widened achievement gaps and lower performance in for-profit virtual charters, she argues for prioritizing in-person learning to foster social skills and collaborative education, while suggesting hybrid adaptations for flexibility. The article urges schools to invest in engaging, hands-on approaches backed by data, rather than rushing into remote options without thorough study.
