Irrational Upper Middle Class fear that their kids won't get into a good enough college

[/quote]

well, now they're worried that if DL fails now (which it is and will continue to do), then their offspring won't just get into a mediocre college, but that their children might be condemned to a bleak future of virtual distance learning without any in-person experiences.

in-person experiences - travel, education, culture, networking, careers - will be reserved for the very wealthy. everyone else might just have to suck it up and take another virtual tour of the museum, or continue DL throughout their secondary educations. the middle class will struggle to keep up and will eventually fall into the lower classes.

the rich will always get richer; the middle class is going to bottom out. and the poors? well, who cares about the poors anyway.

if you think socio-economic inequality is bad now, just wait and see how much worse it will be in 10-20 years.

the kids doing all DL from home with no supplemental materials or one-on-one instruction will fall behind; they will lose three years of instruction in 18 months. they won't be worried about getting into a good college - they will be worried about being able to get into a college, any college - with in-person classes.[/quote]
