Question

Nearly all of the public schools in Boston have remained shuttered this academic year due to Covid-19. The district has largely relied on virtual learning but there are some serious problems with this plan, particularly the very high rate of chronic absenteeism within the district (The Boston Globe reported in March that 40% of Juniors and Seniors are chronically absent from online classes).

Imagine you are writing a memo to the Superintendent of the Boston Public Schools who wants to better understand this concerning trend. Engage with Bourdieu and his ideas about economic, cultural and social capitals (define terms first, of course) and hypothesize as to why so many Boston’s public high schoolers aren’t logging onto zoom school as well as what interventions you would propose to increase attendance and why.
