What this episode covers

Distance learning has been difficult for many students, parents, and teachers and the calls for public schools to reopen as quickly as possible have grown louder and more frequent. In this first episode in a series of discussions about school reopening and distance learning, we hear from students. Juniors Alan Terrones, at Gateway High, Adrianna Zhang, at Lowell High, and William Axelrod, at Ruth Asawa School of the Arts, share their experiences and perspectives.

With the slipping of decency and decorum in our public and private spheres of life, and with once rock-solid faith in civic and social norms now in taters, many people are left feeling greatly concerned and uneasy about the future.
