We examine whether this difference persisted as the pandemic progressed. We find that the rate of in-person learning increased in 2021–22 but remained lower for Black students compared to white students. While several factors helped explain observed racial differences in learning modality in 2020–21, only modality offerings continued to be an important explanatory factor in 2021–22 and a Black-white in-person learning gap persisted after controlling for offerings and other factors. These findings suggest a mismatch between Black families’ preferences and the options offered by their schools.KEYWORDS: COVID-19parental choiceracial gapsschooling modality AcknowledgmentsThe project described in this article relies on data from survey(s) administered by the UAS, which is maintained by the Center for Economic and Social Research at the University of Southern California.

The collection of the UAS COVID-19 tracking data is supported in part by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and by grant U01AG054580 from the National Institute on Aging, and many others.Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Data availability statementThe data that support the findings of this study are available with registration from the Understanding America Study at https://uasdata.usc.edu/.Notes1. The summer 2021 survey (UAS 348) was fielded from June 9th to July 21st, the fall 2021 survey (UAS 350) was fielded from September 23rd to October 31st, and the winter 2022 survey (UAS 351) was fielded from February 1st to March 30th.2. https://uasdata.usc.edu/index.php3. Importantly, the UAS research team provides internet access and hardware (e.g., tablets) to respondents who do not have computer hardware or internet access so all households in the panel may participate. Respondents receive compensation for their time spent answering questions at a rate of $20 per 30 minutes of interview time. The surveys are conducted both in English and Spanish.4. While the UCA averages 7,000 respondents per survey wave, we limit our analysis to those respondents with school-aged children in the household with resulting sample sizes between 1,225 and 1,458 individual respondents. This proportion is comparable with the number of American households with school-aged children (https://www.census.gov/data/tables/2020/demo/families/cps-2020.html)5. Our sample includes any adult living in a household with a child in K-12 schooling which may include extended family members or adult siblings. As a robustness check, we repeat our analyses for summer and fall samples restricted to parents of K-12 students as identified from the separate “My Household” survey in Appendix B.6.

The decline in Catholic school enrollment, of course, strongly correlates with the rise in tuition associated with the decline in number of highly skilled, low-cost religious (i.e., priests, nuns, and monks).2. Graduates include such notables as Rex Sinquefield, founder of the World Chess Hall of Fame and the Show-me Institute think tank, Jack Dorsey, founder of Twitter and Square, and Jeannie Leavitt, the nation’s first female fighter pilot. See “Bishop DuBourg High School,” Wikipedia, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bishop_DuBourg_High_School3. Students who transferred to their local public school reported easier classes and earlier graduation.4. “Table 216.90.

An interesting parallel exists in an often-overlooked subset of US education, alternative schools for those students that no regular schools want.In the years following World War II, the United States hosted several hundred low-cost military schools where troubled or disorganized children might go to learn focus and discipline within a highly structured environment. Most have since closed, victims of anti-military sentiment from the 1960s on, and now number less than a few dozen.In their place have arisen hundreds of private “therapeutic” boarding schools where some of today’s out-of-control or drug-addicted teenagers may find peace in supportive cocoons of licensed counselors, nurses, and social workers. Only some students are welcome, however, because annual fees can exceed one-hundred thousand dollars.9. For example, see Oransky, I, & Marcus, A. (2017, January 13).

Less understood is the effect polarization has within advocate groups. The Narrative Policy Framework (NPF) approach offers a systematic approach to understanding how political actors use narratives to affect policy debates. Because NPF assumes bounded relativity, the approach requires a theory of political ideology that can explain why narratives stick within certain ideological boundaries. Because Kling’s three-axes model provides non-mutually exclusive character identification, it can help illuminate in-group overlap and conflict. This essay uses NPF and Kling to examine how narratives are used by various subgroups within the school choice advocacy coalition.","PeriodicalId":34913,"journal":{"name":"Journal of School Choice","volume":"17 1","pages":"352 - 372"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46372972","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Hispanic and Black students experience greater rates of ethnoracial matching at charter schools, whereas Asian and Native students experience greater match rates at traditional public schools. Having a same-race principal is a strong predictor of student-teacher ethnoracial match in many models. Since 2012-13, ethnoracial matching increased for Hispanic and Asian students, decreased for Black students, and remained stable for Native students. These findings are important given the benefits of exposure to teachers of the same ethnoracial identity and number of students of color in charter schools.","PeriodicalId":34913,"journal":{"name":"Journal of School Choice","volume":"17 1","pages":"324 - 351"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47385227","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
