SARA REBEOR: “They wanna be there, they wanna be socially active and engaged, and they wanna see someone other than mom and dad in person.”
MALLEA: Rebeor says parents are seeing the benefits of in-person learning at home. Kids are waking up happy, they’re excited to go to school, they’re coming home happier, and it’s improving their moods.
REBEOR: “More positive behavior, I’ve definitely seen that in my two younger ones since they’ve been back four days a week, so we’re happy that they’re back.”
