Holly Chapman Holly Chapman teaches 4th and 5th grade social studies and writing at Stamford Independent school district in central Texas. She wrote this essay at the worst of the power-loss crisis in her state last week. I sent my 4 th grade students home at the end of the week with an iPad, a charger, and instructions on how to access virtual assignments from home. An unusually severe winter storm was expected to hit Texas over the weekend, so we prepared for a week of virtual learning. As I hurried through last-minute instructions, I wondered how many of my students might not have Wi-Fi at home. About two-thirds of the students in my central Texas community of Stamford receive free or reduced-priced lunch or other public assistance.
