The only difference is that the wealthy parents care about getting their kids back on track unlike the welfare mamas.

Basically this. I know my daughter was frustrated that I stayed on her so much about mathematics during the remote learning. But the difference is she’s handled that pretty well whereas some of her classmates are still struggling. Math for grade school kids is formative and everything builds off of each other. You miss a formative concept and it can have lasting consequences
