MILTON, Ga. â Police were dispatched to Sunfish Bend on March 22 after a fight broke out between neighbors.
According to police, Emma Carter, 41 and Jacqueline Pecot, 59, began arguing after Carter parked her Toyota Highlander on the street in front of her driveway. Pecot told police she was unable to back out of her driveway because Carterâs vehicle was directly behind it. She claimed when she went to ask her neighbor to move the truck, Carter cursed at her, then eventually struck her in the face unprovoked. Carter claimed Pecot came into her yard being profane and demanded that she move the vehicle. She said Pecot poked her in the forehead and encroached on her personal space.

The research, by academics from the University of Cambridge and RTI International, attempts to quantify the scale of learning loss that children from poor and marginalised communities in the Global South may have experienced, and the extent to which home support and access to learning resources could ameliorate it. While it is known that the education of these children has suffered disproportionately during the pandemic, it is much harder to measure exactly how much their academic progress has been impeded while schools have been closed.
