A study of San Francisco students found that students of color and low-income students have suffered the most as the school district has stuck to virtual learning amid the coronavirus pandemic.
The same disparity applied to Black, Latino and Asian students compared to White students, the San Francisco Chronicle reported. Data also showed that Black and Latino students were more likely to be absent for 60% of class time or more, the San Francisco Chronicle reported. Similarly, a study of 18 California school districts published on Jan. 25 found that "certain student groups, especially low-income students and English language learners (ELLs), are falling behind more compared to others."More Related News
