Sarah Diaz, a 17-year-old rising high school senior, has always been diligent in school. But when New York City public schools shut down this spring and her parents had to keep working, she was forced to become the primary caretaker for her three younger siblings. Every day, she helped them set up for their online classes while juggling her own remote courses, college applications, and a part-time job.
Although some teachers got a glimpse into their students’ home lives during video sessions this spring, many schools with little or no synchronous learning didn’t have a way to check in with students in real-time. As a result of school closures, teachers may not know how their students fared during the pandemic: whether they had a chance to keep up with their studies, or whether they had to prioritize family responsibilities like caregiving or working to support their households.
