Oregon middle school closes over safety concerns, student 'socialization' issues from year of virtual learning
Fox News
A middle school outside of Portland, Oregon is abruptly transitioning back to virtual learning for the next three weeks to implement new "safety protocols" as many children are lacking "socialization skills" necessary in a classroom setting after the coronavirus pandemic kept instruction at-home for a year.
It’s unclear what those safety measures and student support systems will entail.
"The shifts in learning methods and isolation caused by COVID-19 closures and quarantines have taken a toll on the well-being of our students and staff," Diaz wrote in a letter to families and staff Tuesday justifying the sudden decision. "We are finding that some students are struggling with the socialization skills necessary for in-person learning, which is causing disruption in school for other students."
