As the Trump administration increases the pressure to reopen schools for in-person instruction, they're ignoring the lives and experiences of teachers and students. In this 2 part series we explore how teachers and educators from across the country are coping. In this first episode we speak with Erik Branman, a teacher at LaGuardia High School in New York City and Angela Harris a first grade teacher at the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. MLK is one of the only African American immersion schools in the country.
