Teachers Knock On Doors Looking For Students Who've Disappeared From Online Learning-NPR

When Dirigo High School, in western Maine, moved to remote learning for a few weeks last fall, sophomore Mason Ducharme started falling behind. And without athletics, he lost any motivation to keep his grades up. "I just didn't do anything, I just sat in my room all day," he said. "And I didn't do any work. I didn't attend any classes." Many school districts across the country have reported big drop-offs in attendance as they've shifted to remote learning. Some students, like Ducharme, dropped off the map entirely. In response, some schools have been calling, texting and even knocking on doors to try to connect with students. NPR, 02/09/2021
