Last week, several counties across the state of Georgia welcomed its students back to school. However, as we are still in the throes of the coronavirus pandemic, the start of this season was like no other. To highlight and expand on the debates surrounding each county’s decision to open schools in-person, virtually, or both, WSBtv aired its prime time special, The Changing Classroom, on August 11, 2020.
In this unique media event, Dr. Sarah Y. Vinson joins a group of educators, school board representatives, and other professionals to discuss what these decisions mean in terms of mental and physical health for the students, parents, and teachers alike.
