Save the Children ranked Louisiana, Mississippi, Texas, New Mexico and Alabama as the "worst" states for children during the pandemic.
Staffers at Paul Habans Charter School hand out supplies including food, books and computers to students and the community in March 2020 in New Orleans.“Kids and families are suffering all across this country, but there are some communities, and some states, better equipped to navigate through it,” said Shane Garver, senior director of rural education for Save the Children.
When schools shut down last spring, Chriscella Metoyer, Save the Children’s Head Start program director for northwest Louisiana, said that at least 60 percent of families served through the program lacked internet, or a device to keep up with their child’s lessons online.Head Start centers were eventually able to provide tablets to families, but she worries about the struggles her staff can’t account for.
She’s slowly started over and plans to graduate from college in May, but she worries about Covid-19 numbers going back up and derailing her stability again as she cares for her son and 4-month-old daughter.The factors determining many families’ ability to get by were set in motion long before the first case of the coronavirus reached the U.S.
Garbage reporting here. No mention about the historic number of hurricanes to hit La in the fall of 2020, same period cited in the article. It took almost 3 months to get internet after Laura. But guess whose kids & teachers are ALL back in class? Ours!
Shocker. /s
So, basically, Red States. Are those people just garbage at everything from education to pandemics and everything in between? Answer: Yes.
