The story COVID-19 tells about America is an ugly one. There is a class war, and the rich are winning. onesarahjones writes
Photo: Vanessa Carvalho/Shutterstock Nobody at Ethical Culture Fieldston School is sick, but the school is closing anyway. To protect its students from the novel coronavirus, the $52,993-a-year private school will post classwork online until March 30. The school is not alone. Brooklyn Friends, Riverdale Country, Horace Mann, Brearley, Browning, and Nightingale-Bamford have all emptied their classrooms. While students are at home, these expensive institutions will disinfect their facilities.
Whether the closures of schools like Fieldston are merited or whether they’re theater, meant to soothe anxious parents, the stratification they reveal remains roughly the same. Some schools can afford to close. For others, though, the decision is more complicated. When public schools close, the students they serve often go hungry. The ability to study from home requires computers, broadband access, adult supervision. Money can acquire all three.
