“It’s kind of hard to stay motivated when you don’t have anything to look forward to and you don’t see your friends.”
U of A gave ABC News an exclusive look at its research labs where it's developed and can process COVID-19 diagnostic and antibody tests, which it has promised to everyone if it’s safe to be on campus.CUSSETA, Ga. -- After the Chattahoochee County school district called an early end to the school year, seniors lined up one day last week to complete their graduation paperwork.
“We didn’t cut any class time out,” Chattahoochee County High School Principal Josh Kemp said. “There was no reason to pile more on our parents and students.” Classes had been scheduled to run through May 21 but remote instruction instead came to an end May 8 in the Chattahoochee County school district. A majority of the high school’s 450 students live on the U.S. Army’s sprawling Fort Benning, while a minority live around the small town of Cusseta. Only 59% of households in the district have access to broadband internet at home.
“I think the biggest thing about cutting a school year short is not what it does on average, but what it does on equity,” McEachin said. “Even if school isn’t working as well as we want it to be, that may be the best access low income students have to learning.” “It’s the easy way out of a very difficult situation, but that doesn’t mean it’s going to be good for kids,” O’Sullivan said.
