Miles, 10, reflects on 2020: âI felt scared of lifeâ Dec 30, 2020
Just ask Gerald Donaldson, a family support worker at Leschi Elementary in Seattle.
This year, he watched kids puzzle though tough issues, from the killing of George Floyd to a heated election. He also sees how it can affect their mental health.
We asked Donaldson to interview students about what stood out for them or hit close to home. They give us their kidsâ view of the world â not always reality â but how they size things up.
