Teachers resist as schools are slated to resume in-person teaching
“We would very much love to be back in the classroom, but we re feeling like under the conditions that are being offered, it s just not a safe plan,” said Nina Wallbach, a pre-K teacher at Southwark School in South Philly.

Philadelphia teachers took to the streets last week to protest the School District of Philadelphia’s decision to return to in-person learning for students in grades pre-k through second grade starting Feb. 22. More specifically, the school district decided to switch over to a hybrid learning format, where students in the eligible grades will attend class in-person two days a week, on assigned days only, and engage in digital learning the remaining three days.
