Pope said, "We now have teachers, who instead of grading papers and writing feedback and handing the paper back to a kid, they're making a little video about it, which is really personal and can say a lot more. And honestly, it's a little more efficient [for the teacher]." 

The Financial Times said Sir Jon's report also warned that rising inflation is presenting a "significant and growing challenge" and that continuing to record costs in 2019 prices means none of the figures reflected "what has been or is being paid".

A report presented to the HS2 board by the project's deputy chair Sir Jon Thompson said it was "very unlikely" that the £40.3 billion target cost for the London to Birmingham section would be met, the Financial Times reported.

She wrote to her fans: 'I am unbelievably honoured... and all of the emotions(!!) to announce that I will be joining the cast of #BeautyAndTheBeast30th to play the part of my favourite character - Mrs.

It continues: 'This home was designed to be completely recyclable, producing zero emissions, and functioning with 100 per cent self-sufficient solar heating.' One enters the building via a bridge that adjoins the top floor, the book adds. Inside, the furniture has been kept very minimal with only a few pieces on each level

Some will be for the better, others will be more challenging. It's clear that the pandemic will continue to change and evolve a lot of things for both teachers and students. Pope highlighted one that might be the least popular among students.

Still, over 4 million households don't have consistent access to online learning, according to the US Census Bureau. School districts have done a lot to try to fill the gap, but we know a lot of kids still got missed.

"And yet we know so many kids are not able to connect … Some kids have not been able to connect at all and teachers have been searching for them, been making phone calls, sending letters. That's a population that we're very worried about. We need them to come back to school and we need to deal with all the learning they missed." 

Those efforts will include summer programs and tutoring. There are proposals to train a lot more tutors since many will be needed to help the kids who have fallen behind when they go back to the classroom this fall.

"Typically, we see homework as a top concern, or grades."  "We surveyed 11,000 high school students during the pandemic and at least 30% of them said that mental health was one of their very top concerns," said Pope.

And the American Journal of Pediatrics published a study in December, showing a 25% jump in ER visits for young adults to treat suicidal behavior. The New York Times has reported on the teen mental health crisis as well.  The Centers of Disease Control and Prevention have reported a 30% jump in the number of adolescents' visits to emergency rooms in 2020 to treat mental health-related symptoms.

As part of , I spoke with Denise Pope, a senior lecturer at Stanford University Graduate School of Education and co-founder of Challenge Success, a nonprofit that promotes best practices in education. Educators are starting to examine the lasting impact the pandemic is going to have on kids and how to get them back on track in school.

Its shape appears as 'three flexible "slipped" boxes' stacked atop one another, the book reveals, noting that it 'formed a prototype for a new style of urban terraced house'. SLIP HOUSE, SOUTH LONDON: This 'striking' house, designed by architect Carl Turner, lies in Brixton in south London.

While Pope stresses that "there are far more negatives" overall for students from the past year, she also highlighted that there have been positives for kids. Some kids simply like learning from home better because they can concentrate easier, use their time more efficiently or don't have to worry about bullying and social pressures as much. Older kids can fit schooling around their work schedules much easier. Kids with attention deficit disorder have the advantage of fewer distractions when schooling from home.
