The Show recently discussed how teachers across the state are working to reach students at home now that schools are physically closed through the end of this school year. But what about those who are living through this new reality?

The Show caught up with one first-year teacher to see how it’s going with his high school students. Francisco Rangel teaches business marketing and financial algebra at Thunderbird High School.

The Show also talked to a high school senior who is not only adjusting to life with online classes, but who is missing out on so many of the experiences that were supposed to make this year memorable.

Gia Manzella is a senior at Xavier College Preparatory, and she shared her experience before she signed on to her first virtual class of the day.
