  • The Reality of Online Learning for Low-Income Students and Their Families
    The Reality of Online Learning for Low-Income Students and Their Families Elisabeth Sweeney Leah Doucot Owen Cahill Here we see students who can all come from different income families working on computers inside school before the Covid-19 pandemic. Here we can see all students working to better their education with school supplied computers. Not all schools have the capability to supply their less fortunate students with computers to allow for them to continue their education outside of an actual school building. However if schools did have this capability of supplying the lower income families with computers the real question to be asked is how many of these students would have access to the internet? ​ Here is a teacher at the front of her classroom with a group of students who may have been struggling to understand the topic of interest, so by being in a normal school setting this teacher was able to work more closely with these kids to ensure they are fully understanding what is being taught to them. The Corona Virus shut down schools in the month of March and caused schools to shut down for the rest of the school year. Here is what a Covid-19 testing center is. Cars go through a maze of cones and lanes to reach the destination of finally getting tested for the virus. Classrooms are empty with no students or teachers. Teachers now have to teach online with the unknown if they are going back. They think of their students who don't have the resources to complete online learning.
