 Dear reader,
A year after George Floyd’s killing, teachers everywhere are still struggling to move forward, but none more so than exhausted Black teachers – who may be leaving the profession in even greater numbers than they did pre-pandemic. And that’s a big problem, Peggy Barmore explains in an in-depth story this week.
Also this week, we look at how schools are teaching students about viruses and the public health response to their spread, via an app created before that topic became all too real. We also bring you a story that carries this warning to higher education: Expect big enrollment worries for years to come.
Finally, please spend some time with the 78-year-old community college professor who worries constantly about reaching all of her students. As always, we love to hear your stories as well.
