Dear reader,
Images of children being vaccinated are suddenly flooding the media. Grimaces, along with smiles of joy and liberation, are coming from kids (and their parents) at schools and mobile sites across the United States. But despite the growing availability of vaccines, there are families and districts that have come to appreciate virtual schooling and are sticking with it, at least for the foreseeable future.
Still, as we’ve learned by spending time with physical education teachers, there have been consequences of all that isolation, so there’s a new push to get kids moving again.
Finally, I’m asking all of our readers to spend a minute with an extraordinary parent, who describes in great detail the journey to get her immunocompromised son the public education he is entitled to in the nation’s largest public school district, New York City. As always, we want to hear what our readers think.
