People Over 75 Are First in Line to Be Vaccinated Against COVID-19. The Average Black Person Here Doesnât Live That Long.
Prioritizing COVID-19 vaccinations for people 75 and up can leave out Black Americans, who tend to die younger than their white counterparts. In majority-Black Shelby County, TN, this gap raises questions of how to make the vaccine rollout equitable. (Source: Emily Wakeman) By Wendi C.

But it may be March before the couple, who are both Black and 65, are eligible to get the vaccine, based on the state’s age-based vaccination plan.

Homeroom: How Can I Get My Child to Finish Her Work?
She says she’s “done” when she’s not. And when I try to intervene, it ends in tears.

Dear Abby and Brian,
My seventh grader, Lucy, says that she’s “done” with her homework when she’s not. The tough thing is that she actually seems to believe she has completed her work. She checks it off in her planner, and submits it on the portal her school introduced when classes went virtual last spring. But she regularly forgets to submit the whole assignment or doesn’t read the directions closely, and as a result loses so much credit that she easily could have gotten if she had really focused. I’ve tried intervening, but that always ends with her in tears, and me being really frustrated. Is there anything I can do to help?
