COVID-19 Widens U.S. Education Gap: Private vs. Public Schools 🏫📚

The trend raises tough questions about long-term impacts on student outcomes. Could this become education's 'Great Unraveling'? 🧠 With vaccination rates rising, all eyes are on how schools will address this growing equity gap in the 2021-2022 academic year.
