2. Think about how the pandemic and distance education in particular are affecting our current educational system. Think about how this may deepen the inequality present in this country. What barriers are some students facing? How is inequality playing out in distance education? Who is being left behind? What might be some of the long term consequences of this?
3. What are some of the barriers that you have encountered or experienced through your educational journey?
4. What are your thoughts and opinions on the film Operation Varsity Blues: The College Admissions Scandal?
