Virus, technology, unrest make stressful year for teachers

MANOR, Texas (AP) - The school bell rings, and about a dozen masked first-graders turn to the monitor and wave hello to their classmates - each a tiny Zoom square representing the other half of the class. The teacher - standing behind a plexiglass wall - shares her screen, grabs a pointer, juggles a laptop, projector, marker and board and embarks on another act of her one-woman show.

Ana Saul Romero has seen many changes in teaching methods, testing and technology during her four decades as a teacher. But the past year packed in a lifetime's worth of tumult.

"It's difficult for me - I am a baby boomer - it is difficult with the technology, and I have learned more, but it is not enough, it is never enough," Romero said as she reminisced on the personal connections she made with students when she could see them every day in-person.
