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.

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.
