Variable suggestion: Separating races as much as possible
We should not only do white and non-white racial categories, rather we should separate out Latinx, Black, White, Asian and other races as much as possible. Each has a very distinctive culture and since the pandemic has caused people to learn from home, cultural tendencies of different households may have had a greater affect on students. For example, the Latinx population is more likely to be ESL and studies show that living in non-english speaking households can affect educational outcomes. For another, in Outliers, Gladwell writes about how Chinese work ethic has been largely shaped by its agricultural roots in rice farming. This is something exclusive to a specific culture and has been a positive influence on learning outcomes, meaning those staying home in Chinese households may be affected differently than others who are not. While we may not be able to separate every race and culture from one another in this study, these anecdotes should paint why it is worth it to break them down as granular as possible.
