Greater LA: LA history teacher aims to help students emotionally process their COVID experiences
Hosted by Steve Chiotakis Aug. 16, 2021
After more than a year guiding students on Zoom school, teachers are now responsible for enforcing mask rules, keeping kids socially distanced, and making up for lost learning.
David Rodriguez teaches ethnic studies and U.S. history at Bravo Medical Magnet High School between Boyle Heights and Lincoln Heights. He’s nervous to be back, but prefers it over looking at a bunch of black boxes on a screen for another semester.
“It scares me, the situation that we're in,” he says. “But I tell the students: As long as we follow our path, do what we need to do, wear the masks, social distance, wash your hands, we should be okay.”
