[quote=Anonymous]Here's the nut of it:

"Which  schools  chose to  favor  teacher  interests  over  those  of  their  students?  The  answer  turns  out  to  be quite simple:  it was  those  schools  that  had  demonstrated  a  willingness  to  do  so  in  the  past.  Schools  that chose  virtual  instruction  during the  2020-2021  school  year  were  schools  that,  prior to  the  pandemic,  had a history  of favoring  teachers  over  students.  During  the  2018-2019  year,  students  at  schools  that  would later opt  for online  instruction  had  school  days  that  were  18  minutes  (4  percent)  shorter.  Their teachers spent  30  fewer  minutes  at  school  each  day  and  1.5  fewer  non-teaching  days  at  school  each  year. Taken  together,  these  numbers  mean  that at  the schools  that  chose  to  be online the  average teacher works  100  fewer  hours  per  year  than  the average teacher  in  the  schools  that chose to  educate  their students  in  person.  For  the  K-12  student  in  an  online  school,  this  difference  in  hours  cumulates  to  over  a half-year less  instruction  by  the  time  they  graduate  relative  to  their  peer  at  an  in-person  school."
