In Porterville, California, farm worker Mayra Guzman worries about the future of her son, Manuel. Distance learning for him has been a complete failure.
“The teachers are calling me. You know, why Manuel is not in class? Manuel is missing this work, having a rough time. We are not learning,” said Guzman. Manuel responded, “We’re not learning nothing.
