“COVID increased the number of kids with anxiety, depression, and other mental health issues. Overcrowding makes everything worse and we can’t possibly deal with the emotional needs of students when they are crammed into classrooms.”
Jeffrey M.R. Duncan-Andrade, a professor of Latina/Latino studies and race/resistance studies at San Francisco State University, believes that optimal learning requires meaningful relationships: relationships between peers; relationships between students, school staff and instructors; and relationships between schools and the communities they serve.
Regina Fuentes, an English teacher at Eastmoor Academy in Columbus, Ohio, and a spokesperson for the Columbus Education Association, toldthat public school teachers in Columbus went on strike for three days in August, in part over the number of students they are expected to instruct. “COVID increased the number of kids with anxiety, depression, and other mental health issues,” she says.
“Overcrowding makes everything worse and we can’t possibly deal with the emotional needs of students when they are crammed into classrooms.” Shelley Orren-King, a New York metropolitan area psychotherapist, agrees that this is important, but cautions that teachers also need training to do initial mental health assessments. “A kid may be quiet, which can be read as studious, but they might actually be depressed,” she explains. “Without training, teachers who are overwhelmed or unsure about what they’re seeing might not know how to evaluate what’s going on with a particular child or a particular teen.
