Parents of students in Tehachapi Unified School District are expressing concern about the struggles their children face while learning from home in the wake of the district s decision to return to virtual learning as of Dec. 7. My kids are missing the regular daily structure in school. It is very important for them to have peer interaction as well as consistent in-person instruction. These are life skills that they will never get back, said Beth Bryant, a mother of two.
She said both of her children had coronavirus and exhibited very little symptoms for one day. This virus is not something to shut the whole country down over, Bryant said. Other states are clearly doing fine with in-person school with careful restrictions. I don t understand why this district/state can t do the same.
