ST. CLAIR SHORES — While some local districts are getting students back into the classroom four and five days per week, parents in Lakeview Public Schools protested the fact that no such change has been made in their district — and that there was no immediate plan to do so.
“My middle schooler is my reason. He is struggling so bad. We are talking 10-12 hours a day, every day that he is home, trying to get him to focus and do his work, and he was an all-A student,” said Shannon Hazelett, the mother of four boys ages 2-15 years old, three of which currently attend Lakeview Public Schools. “Now, he doesn’t have the socialization at all because when you’re not in school, you don’t have that. He’s emotional every home day. We end up in tears at some point in the day, we all do pretty much, and I just worry.”
