As the school year approaches, how will the pandemic affect education? This is the question on the minds of many parents, teachers, and students. I am envisioning children returning to school in handcrafted face masks, sitting in their designated seats on the school bus – 1 child per row, and every other seat is marked with caution tape. Upon entering their respective schools, they wait to get their temperatures checked before filing into the school building. Plastic shields are installed on desks, COVID-19 safety posters cover the walls and each classroom is equipped with smartboards, computers, and 2,000 Mbps Cable and fiber-optic internet services.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They may be faced with choosing between caring for their kids and getting a paycheck. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
