Students and families held a car rally outside JeffCo Public Schools Wednesday night. They want to return to in-person learning at the start of the second semester in January.
Families are struggling, Datko said, and believe remote learning is not the answer.
“It’s been really hard online,” said Teagan Eisenring, a sophomore at Conifer High School. “We’re just not having that connection with our teachers and our fellow peers that we would really like to have.”
Teagan’s little sister, Kiley, is in fourth grade.
“At home, I get distracted a bunch,” she said. “If I [have] questions, I need to wait for a specific time. We don’t get to work with other classmates and, [we] do it ourselves and that’s hard. And a lot of the parents, they don’t know what we’re learning. It’s a struggle for me because no one can really help me.”
