'I want to homeschool, because I think I'd feel more safe...but I have to work,' said Gracia, a single mom.
Some Uvalde families, critical of the school district's safety protocols, aren't ready to send their kids back to classrooms.
Families are faced with new considerations as they navigate shared grief, an ongoing investigation involving their school district's police department and increased security measures that some find insufficient. Fernanda Moreno, grandmother to fifth grader Gemma, who attended Robb Elementary School, is sending her granddaughter back to school for a sense of normalcy.
Without reliable internet access, kids can't learn online. In an environment where learning is presented in English, an available, fluent and digitally-literate English speaker is necessary for concept-grasping and homework. In Gemma's case, this is her family's barrier to opting for at-home learning. The statistics indicate a significant portion of Uvaldean families, as in the Gracias' case, don't have the means to stay at home with their children when they must work.
