Add ventilation and cleaning/maintenance requirements, and it became incredibly difficult for a lot of schools.

Essentially, this process has been exponentially more difficult because of decades of issues with education funding.

I really appreciate and feel terrible for the teachers like you. I have many friends that teach in New York and they all agree the children’s education are really suffering this school year.

It’s very difficult to teach certain subjects remotely and for many kids there are too many distractions at home to concentrate then add the social aspect. Ugh

Thank you for what you do for our kids!!
