More than 120 teachers in a school district in the suburb of Atlanta are complaining about the evil because of an impasse in personal learning. And in a district outside the capital of South Carolina, it is the students who are protesting.

In Cobb County, outside Atlanta, schools resumed face-to-face classes on Monday. But it is a movement that some teachers say is not safe.
This includes the county educators association.
Cobb County had three educators dying from COVID-19 last month, two of them last week.
About 40 percent of students in Cobb County are learning online now.

Students in a school district outside the capital of South Carolina protested plans to return to face-to-face classes five days a week.
On Monday night, a group of high school students from the Lexington-Richland School District 5 marched out when the school board met.
The board discussed whether to return to the five-day classroom, as requested by some parents.
Students outside said they wanted any decision to be made with safety in mind.
“I never thought it would be this big political problem, keeping people safe, preventing them from getting sick, and it became one,” said student Hailey Dorsey.
Student Caroline Mack said: “Offer a middle ground. It is a very difficult situation, and students face to face feel that all we can do is send emails and protest. “
The district plans to return to five-day learning on February 1.
