Coronavirus Pandemic Update: Homeschooling!

The educational achievement gap between African American and other students is well documented - African American children, on average, score lower on tests and are given lower grades than Asian, White, and Latino students. Now that students must be home-schooled because of Covid-19, there are concerns that the "gap" could widen into a "gulf" and Black children may not be able to catch up. We talk about ways parents, guardians and the community can come together to help all students, but particularly Black students, to continue to learn while at home. Our guests include Chris Stewart, Chief Executive Officer of Education Post, a media project of the Results in Education Foundation, and Elmer Seward, Vice President of Education Services with WHRO Public Media. We'll also talk about community initiatives to keep our young people engaged.
