How Will Pandemic ‘Learning Pods’ Impact Our Public Schools?
from The Bay · host KQED
Almost all Bay Area schools are required to start the school year remotely to prevent the further spread of COVID-19 this fall. In response, many families are starting their own small, in-person "learning pods" instead. But not everyone has access to one. Some parents are paying extra just so their child can get access. And there are also fears that these pods will exacerbate inequities that have already existed in the education system. Guest: Sara Hossaini, KQED reporter Learn more about your ad choices.
