Commentary: Building trust among parents and teachers is key to reopening schools
A New York City mother said she kept her son in remote schooling during the pandemic because she believes city education officials “lie a lot.” “These buildings are old and don’t have proper ventilation,” she explained to journalist Melinda Anderson. “They don’t have the supplies they need, and they don’t even have nurses.” One of […]
