Remote learning is so tough that some school districts are ending the year. Schools have struggled to launch remote learning for more than 50 million children across the country, and some states, including In Georgia, Texas, Washington D.C., have made the decision to end the year early rather than continue. Students not having the appropriate devices or internet access, technical difficulties, and limited help from parents are just some of the issues that are being encountered. Feelings of isolation and depression are also contributing to students’ inability to concentrate and do schoolwork, and all of these issues have raised concerns about inequity in the educational system.
