For example, Hezekiah, age 11, used to love school. Now she asks her mom if she has to go.
She works late struggling to finish all her assignments.
Her mom told some teachers: “If this continues, we’re going to start cherry-picking our assignments.” #txlege #txed

And Alexis Phan, a HS sophomore, spent weeks staying up until 1 a.m. doing homework. She and her classmates are anxious and struggling to focus — and she wishes her teachers could be more understanding. #txlege #txed
Some of these students don't want to go in person. They want remote learning to be improved.
Some districts are working to learn from their mistakes.
