NOT AN EASY A The Biden administration will issue a school reopening plan Friday, but it’s unlikely to ease the tension faced by major school districts around the country trying to bring students back into classrooms. San Francisco’s mayor said a deal struck with the union requiring all teachers to be vaccinated would mean that schools won’t be open this semester. Chicago and New York City are bringing younger students back but still lack plans to get high school students into buildings.
Laurie DeMark, whose son is in his senior year of high school, told the Caller that she was seeing a change in her son’s day-to-day schedule and patterns.
“He does his work when he wants, stays up late. Definitely, his sleep patterns have changed. They’re not holding them accountable to get up at a certain time and be on there,” DeMark explained. “The kids are having to teach themselves.”
DeMark’s son expressed his frustration with remote learning and the lack of guidance from his teachers.
“I haven’t had a single Zoom session where they’ve actually taught. I’ve had two Google Meet sessions that were face to face, and they asked if we were alright with our work,” he explained. “They’re just giving us work and telling us to do it.”

The board voted 8-1 to postpone the vote at a meeting Thursday night. Administrators have until August to take back up the issue.

The Houston school board could vote to end its relationship with the official voice for its 200,000 students, dissolving a six-year relationship that brought student concerns to top administrators, school board members, lawmakers and judges.
