About this episode
When schools were closed at the beginning of the pandemic, we did not have a robust public debate.
The issue, unfortunately, was politicized — and it has only been recently, with the data now emerging, that a mainstream conversation has been possible.
Back in 2020, Tara's guest on the podcast today warned what school closures could mean for children, and particularly for the most vulnerable kids.
