When schools move online, poorer students fall behind. This digital divide existed long before Covid-19, but now it is thrown into sharp relief

It started with a text from an old friend: “I regret to inform you that Bothell High is literally closed for coronavirus today.”

My high school alma mater was one of the first schools to close, mere days before a man in the neighboring city of Kirkland, Washington, became the first US patient to pass away due to Covid-19. Then the entire Northshore School District announced it would close its doors for up to two weeks, planning to transition schoolwork “from classroom to cloud” for online learning.
