Will Schooling Ever Change?
This insightful meta‑narrative examines the global “natural experiment” of COVID‑19–induced distance education and explores its effects— or lack thereof—on school culture and traditional educational norms. Despite the massive shift to online teaching precipitated by the pandemic, the authors argue that core roles, relationships, and hierarchies between students and teachers in schools remained fundamentally unchanged. Drawing on a theoretical framework, the book analyzes why the digital transition did not deliver qualitative transformation in schooling, even amid broader trends like digitalization and AI. It’s an essential read for researchers and students in sociology of education, education policy, and studies of school culture, innovation, and online learning
