While distance learning may be ending for young students early next year, older students could still have months to go until they return to the classroom.
Distance learning has advantages for some, but many students find it challenging and may find it contributes to poor mental health. Several Anoka County parents recently shared their concerns and how their students were handling the stress.
Hannah Williams, of Andover, has a son in first grade. She praised the hybrid model, because it led to smaller class sizes and more one-on-one time for her son and his teacher. However, she has seen some challenges since the Anoka-Hennepin district moved to full distance learning.
