West Portal School, the educational institution where first grade student Jeevan Guha, 6, attends, is quiet on Friday, January 26, 2021, in San Francisco, Calif. The school has been closed due to the coronavirus pandemic but maintains Zoom classes for students. I hate Zoom because I like to see people in person. I don t wanna be stuck at home all day. I wanna go outside and see my friends at school, Guha said.Yalonda M. James / The Chronicle
