 Dear reader,
Arguments. Shouting. Teary outbursts. If any of this sounds familiar, welcome to the sometimes toxic combination of pandemic parenting, schooling and working from home. It’s been a year. And this week, The Hechinger Report takes an intensive look at the stress being trapped at home together has taken on all of us.
Over and over, our reporting is showing us how this difficult year has changed education as we know it. Fewer high school students are taking dual enrollment classes, for example. And there are so many other ways we are exploring the new landscape, via our learning from lockdown series.
We love hearing from our readers (including students) who are facing other challenges this year as well, such as the need to address anti-Asian racism. If no one is talking about the problems, no one will bother trying to fix them.
