DECATUR â Even honor students are struggling during remote learning.
âI noticed within myself and after talking to my peers that our mental health has gone downhill since virtual learning,â said Azlynn Padderatz, a junior at Eisenhower High School. âThere should be a change if we re going to continue virtual learning. I decided to make a movement to encourage (the school board) to make that change.â

Azlynn and some of her fellow students, as well as a couple of parents, spoke to the Decatur school board at the Feb. 9 meeting to ask them to consider ways to help students who are struggling. One of those students, Elizabeth Palagi, said she has always been an honor student yet has just failed her first class.
