Teachers return to their classrooms for first time in 11 months DEKALB COUNTY, Georgia (WGCL) — Across DeKalb County, teachers did something most of them haven’t done since the pandemic began. They walked into their school buildings to teach their students. “Some teachers are very excited to come back. Some teachers are not,” said Brittney Caldwell, who teaches AP U.S. History at Cedar Grove High School. Caldwell said she’s ready for the day her students can return if they choose to do so. She said most of her students have told her they plan to take their courses remotely through the end of the school year. Others, she said, are struggling as they try to learn from home.
