Schools reopening
August 26, 2021
Many of our 50 million public school students are back to school now. About 60% are in actual classrooms. Others, parents are keeping home to do distance learning until families are confident their children will be safe.
Distance learning works well for some students and some families, but not all. Many of those will be back in school eventually when they see that schools are working.
If you are that family with school children, communicate frequently, clearly, and kindly with your school. How is it working for your child? What concerns do you have? Compliment what is going well, and raise concerns kindly.
This is a unique opportunity for communities to come together for the good of our children. Schools need parental interaction. Family connections make a strong team for all children.
