Post-COVID burnout for students is real, says US teachers union exec
It's hard to overstate how awful the pandemic was for children in America.

It's not about in-person vs. remote learning. There's no substitute for the former.
Still, she says during a Global Stage livestream conversation, teachers and parents worked very hard during that time. Their burnout is real, as is that of their kids.
The solution moving forward? "Build up" children so they are better prepared to succeed in school — and in life.
