Why millions of students still can't get online
By Olga Khazan
At 8 a.m. Pacific time last Wednesday, I joined David Anderson's
12th-grade government class at Live Oak High by clicking on a Zoom link.Because California suffered a surge in coronavirus cases this summer, students in Live Oak, a town about 50 miles north of Sacramento, will be learning virtually for the foreseeable future. Both Anderson and his students seemed nervous about how it would go. At 8:03, only eight of the 24 students had logged on, despite the fact that Anderson's "classroom expectations" sheet requested that everyone "log in to class on time and prepared every day."
