Daniela Fernandez spends the school day walking around her grandmother’s home in Medellin, Colombia, looking for a quiet spot that gets wifi. She starts up her school-issued laptop in the kitchen or the back patio. If her relatives wake up and start arguing, she camps out on the terrace or slips into an empty bedroom.
