   Why millions of students still can't get online   
      
   By Olga Khazan   
      
   At 8 a.m. Pacific time last Wednesday, I joined David Anderson's   
   12th-grade government class at Live Oak High by clicking on a Zoom   
   link.   
      
   Because California suffered a surge in coronavirus cases this summer,   
   students in Live Oak, a town about 50 miles north of Sacramento, will   
   be learning virtually for the foreseeable future. Both Anderson and   
   his students seemed nervous about how it would go. At 8:03, only eight   
   of the 24 students had logged on, despite the fact that Anderson's   
   "classroom expectations" sheet requested that everyone "log in to   
   class on time and prepared every day."
