The Education Exchange: “We Knew from the Beginning Closing Schools Would Be Bad for Kids” – Education Next

New book chronicles the cascade of bad decisions that created a generational disaster for American education

David Zweig joins Paul E. Peterson to discuss new book, An Abundance of Caution: American Schools, the Virus, and a Story of Bad Decisions, and how the U.S. response to Covid-19 became shaped by politics.

Rick Hess recently reviewed Zweig’s book in The Junk Science of Pandemic School Closure,, available now at EducationNext.org.
