Excited to share our new work on the #pandemic's effect on demand for #public #schools, #homeschooling and #private schools. @kevin_stange @JoshuaSGoodman @abacherhicks

This work resonates personally with me-as it should for anyone attached to the K-12 public school system.🧵 We know, and many of us experienced, how the #Covid_19 pandemic drastically disrupted the functioning of U.S. public schools. But how much, and for whom, did this change the relative appeal of alternatives such as homeschooling and private schools?

Great start to the day today listening to @DaveEvansPhD talk about girls' education around the world. I summarize two main sections of his presentation below (What do we know & how can we help girls gain more education)👇
