Reuters (5/6, Caspani, Beier) reports “Educators across the country agreed students’ mental wellbeing became a bigger priority after the pandemic forced schools to shut down or operate with a mix of remote and in-person learning.” Teachers saw that “some students struggled to focus, and isolation, worry and depression took a toll on many.” Earlier this year, a Reuters survey of school districts in the US “serving more than 2.2 million students found that a majority reported multiple indicators of increased mental health stresses among students.”
