MILWAUKEE - For students struggling through the last year of pandemic learning, GPA is not just a number. Before we got kicked out of school, my grades was top-notch, said Maleak Taylor, a Milwaukee Public Schools 11th grade student. His eyes were smiling behind his mask as he logged into his virtual classes. After this? Maleak’s eyes dropped. I try to keep my grades up, but my grades fell dramatically. And I’m just trying to keep it up there where I can graduate this year.
