What challenges has the pandemic posed for our education system and what are its long term implications on schools across America? AEI resident scholar Rick Hess joins students at Harvard University to discuss K-12 schools during the pandemic. Hess looks at the challenges it has presented for students, parents, and teachers; the effectiveness of hybrid schooling models; and the timeline for school reopenings.

Be sure to stick around until the end of the conversation, where Hess talks about his latest book, “A Search for Common Ground: Conversations About the Toughest Questions in K–12 Education” (Teachers College Press, 2021).
