“I think Aaliyah’s class is like 23 or 26 children trying to listen to a teacher, talk through a computer screen, and then they would view all of the kids. So when the kids would try to say something, they can't because the teacher muted them.”

19. SOUNDBITE (English) Alexis Cruz Freeman, Principal:
“We you know, ultimately we're supposed to be educating all these children, right? And we're supposed to, you know, really improve our academic achievement. So that's the ultimate goal. However, that cannot be done without taking care of some of these other services. We have to provide these wraparound services for our families and our children in order for them to be successful in school. And we have seen success with that. It is a lot of work and it's but it's worth it. I mean, they're kids and they need they deserve that opportunity to learn.”
