Angela Wright became the principal of Fairfield Court Elementary School in Richmond, Virginia, in the fall of 2020, but she didn’t meet her students until a year later. At the start of the pandemic, Richmond had moved all of its 22,000 students to remote learning. By the time they returned to the classroom, in September 2021, after every other school district in the state, it had been 18 months since they’d been inside a school building.

17% of all grade 3 through 8 students were also reported as chronically absent last school year. Those students showed a 25% decrease in math performance, and 18% in reading.

The United Nations was forced to stop deliveries of food and other necessities to Gaza last Friday and warned of the growing possibility of widespread starvation after internet and telephone services collapsed in the besieged enclave because of a lack of fuel. Israel announced that it will allow for the first time two tanker trucks of fuel daily into Gaza for the U.N. and communications systems.

It has also blocked food, water and other supplies except for a trickle of aid from Egypt that aid workers say falls far short of what’s needed The communications blackout, now in its second day, largely cuts off Gaza’s 2.3 million people from one another and the outside world.
