Schools have not fully reopened, nearly a year after the pandemic first closed them. Virtual school is going smoother, but it's still a drag for many students.
Heather Vogt tries her best every day to keep her eyes on her work and at least one ear on her younger child’s lessons. But that still leaves her older son.
“I can't work and split my ears both ways,” she said. “I'm splitting it one way with a kindergartener.”
The kindergartner is Jack, and Vogt’s older son, a third grader, is Benjamin. Both are enrolled in the Francis Howell School District, though they’ve been doing school completely from their St. Charles County home since last March.
