I’m sick and tired of people using racist in this way. It diminishes the term and it makes it seem that all black ppl or minorities can’t afford pods. That’s wrong to assume since some of us actually can afford to do the same. Some of us are also forming pods! Honestly this whole thing is just so taxing- real racism is being dragged by the KKK in the middle of the night.
Actually no. Racism is systemic, not incidental. Nice try Tucker

There was advice in the NYT article to invite economically disadvantaged students to join your pods. I doubt anyone on DCUM will.
How is anyone supposed to know who the economically disadvantaged kids are? Are they supposed to assume that brown/black = economically disadvantaged?

How much? Would you be willing to share your child's tutoring time with another student? I'm trying to work out how I can provide services to low income students.

Like where???
Please name one developed country with more inequality than the U.S.
