I guess I just don’t get why some teachers seem to think they’re more important and worthy of protecting themselves than anyone else. We cannot function as a society if we all shelter in place at home for a year or two or more.
New Report Shows Just How Hard 2020 Was On America's Kids
One in four kids hasn’t had access to remote learning
The report estimated that, nationwide, at least 25% of children have not always had access to the tools they needed for remote learning, whether that be reliable internet, a computer or device ― or both. And children living in rural areas tended to be the most disconnected, the researchers said.
But students must be able to connect in order to keep up with their schoolwork. Roughly one year into the pandemic, less than half of K-12 children in the U.S. are in school, in-person full-time. Just over 30% are still fully remote, while 26% are doing hybrid learning, which may require them to access materials or classes online during their remote days.
