Since The Start Of The School Year, At Least 1,000 Schools In 35 States Have Closed For In-Person Instruction

Since the start of the school year, at least 1,000 schools in 35 states have closed for in-person instruction.

Since the start of the school year, at least 1,000 schools in 35 states have closed for in-person learning due to COVID-19, according to Burbio, a New York-based data organization that tracks K-12 school closing patterns.

The company's tracker shows that schools have been closed for range from one day to several weeks. For the time being, the majority of students have switched to online study. Others were forced to close without warning. According to Burbio, a small percentage of students postponed the start of school or switched to hybrid learning.

The increased number of closures coincides with a fight in schools over mask requirements and an increase in pediatric COVID-19 infections, mostly due to the extremely contagious delta form.

President Joe Biden's administration stated late last month that it is looking into five states that have banned districts from requiring children to wear masks, claiming that such rules violate the civil rights of children with disabilities and underlying health concerns.

In a statement, Education Secretary Miguel Cardona said, "The department will fight to protect every student's right to access in-person learning safely and the rights of local educators to put in place policies that allow all students to return to the classroom full-time in-person safely this fall."

Ways to relief stress

Angel

Stress is the body's reaction to any change that requires an adjustment or response. The body reacts to these changes with physical, mental, and emotional responses. Stress is a normal part of life. You can experience stress from your environment, your body, and your thoughts. Even positive life changes such as a promotion, a mortgage, or the birth of a child produce stress. It triggers your fight-or-flight response in order to fight the stress or  run away from it. Typically, after the response occurs, your body should relax. Too much constant stress can have negative effects on your long-term health.  The human body is designed to experience stress and react to it. Stress can be positive, keeping us alert, motivated, and ready to avoid danger. Stress becomes negative when a person faces continuous challenges without relief or relaxation between stressors. As a result, the person becomes overworked, and stress-related tension builds. The body's auto...

In A Furious Address, Biden Calls For A Reform Of US Election Laws.

Angel
Image
As part of his effort to revamp the country's election procedures, US President Joe Biden has called for a historic change to Senate rules. He stated he backed adjustments that would allow his voting reforms to pass without the cooperation of opposition Republicans in an impassioned speech. His initiatives are being hampered by reservations from two senators in his own party, and no Republicans have backed them. In order to approve most bills in the Senate, a 60 percent majority is required. And, with the upper body of Congress split 50-50 between the two parties, Mr Biden's comprehensive election legislation is nearly certain to fail unless that provision is changed. Analysts think such a shift is unlikely since it would require the approval of every Democrat in the Senate, as well as the vice president's tie-breaking vote. Last year, the lower house, the House of Representatives, enacted the Freedom to Vote Act and the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act. The former ...

After a jury convicted him guilty of lying to police about being the victim of a hate crime, Jussie Smollett was sentenced to 150 days in prison. After fabricating false claims about the hoax attack, the former Empire star, 39, was convicted guilty of five counts of felony disorderly conduct in December. The punishment also includes 30 months of probation and restitution and fines totaling $145,000 (£110,000). "I did not do this!" Smollett exclaimed after the sentence. The case came from a three-year-old incident in which Smollett said he was attacked by two people. While walking late at night in January 2019, the actor, who is black and gay, alleged the attackers shouted racial slurs and a Trump slogan at him, dumped a "chemical substance" on him, and tied a noose around his neck. Authorities launched an investigation, but Smollett was charged with filing a fake police complaint in February of that year, stating he orchestrated the incident. Last year, a jury of si...
