How 2020 Was A 'Stolen Year' For Students

In her new book, The Stolen Year: How Covid Changed Children’s Lives, and Where We Go Now, journalist Anya Kamenetz probes how the United States' education system responded -- inadequately, she argues -- during the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the impact on children of a year of uncertainty, and subpar remote learning infrastructure. Plus, listeners call in to describe their experiences, and how that year has had lasting effects on their kids.
