Some parents say that comes with technical issues, child care questions and concerns over students' motivation.
"Some students just cannot benefit from virtual learning,” says parent Ginnine Fried. “Particularly, special education students. Special education teachers are angels and saviors, and frankly, I never missed them as much as I did last year when I had to become my son's teacher."
"I have never experienced this in my life,” says Mason Fried, Ginnine’s son. “I need my education and also I miss my friends. I wish I can see them right now."

Teaneck school leaders have said they don't think in-person learning is safe.
