A recent study headed by ParentsTogether (an advocacy group) pointed out what the poor have always known, wealth matters. The COVID-19 virus has shined a light on the resource gap in America. The move to home schooling caused by the virus shows the lack of resources in the nations poorest areas.

Four out of 10 of the poorest U.S. students are accessing remote learning as little as once a week or less, according to a new survey from ParentsTogether, an advocacy group. By contrast, for families making more than $100,000 a year, 83% of kids are doing distance learning every day, with the majority engaged over two hours a day, the survey found.
