'It makes me feel lonely': Remote learning isolates US schoolchildren

Description

Parents in the suburbs of the US capital say prolonged school closures aiming to curb the Covid-19 pandemic are taking a toll on school children's mental health and hampering their ability to learn and grow. Deanna Caputo, a psychologist and mother of two in Arlington, Virginia, says she started noticing symptoms of depression in her son after eight weeks of remote learning. In nearby Falls Church, Daniel Mooney sits all day in his basement as he follows classes on his computer. "It makes me feel lonely," he says, days before his ninth birthday.

  • How The Pandemic Is Giving 'Box Office' A Whole New Meaning

    The pandemic shows no sign of abating in the US, and thus, neither has remote working nor remote learning. And according to Business Insider, that's led to a boom in the 'office in a box' market, in which people install minuscule 'home' offices in the backyard. In a recent survey of just over 2000 American consumers, 54% of respondents said they would buy a tiny office. Among them, 62% said they'd purchase a backyard unit. 30%, reported that the ideal tiny office would fall between 200 to 299 square feet. In terms of pricing, 26% said they'd spend less than $8,000 on a backyard office unit, while 23% said they'd fork out between $10,000 to $19,999.
