School district leaders across our area said one of their biggest challenges is the high number of students sent home to quarantine for COVID-19 exposure.
With the Florida Department of Education taking away the full-time distance learning option this school year, students are struggling to keep up while at home. But some teachers are finding ways to stay connected.
South Fork High School math teacher Kyle Gorton started the school year with an equation she wasn’t sure how to solve.So Gorton thought back to last year, took out her old camera, and started Zooming for kids on quarantine.
The students who are at home quarantined are not required to join the Zoom lessons, but Gorton said at least 50% of them are taking advantage of the live instruction.
