Millions of students are attending classes remotely while families are often balancing work responsibilities with keeping their children on track with their studies. Teachers are working to provide meaningful class instruction in safe and engaging ways. Despite these efforts, the data shows that some students are struggling with grades, anxiety and depression. All the while, they hear that COVID-19 death rates continue to climb, Americans are lining up for food donations, unemployment is high, and politics remain divided. As 2020 comes to an end, it appears we could all use a little hope.
