These kids want to go to school. The main obstacle? Paperwork

ATLANTA (AP) — It's unclear to Tameka how — or even when — her children became unenrolled from Atlanta Public Schools. But it was traumatic when, in fall of 2021, they figured out it had happened.

These kids want to go to school. The main obstacle? Paperwork

After more than a year of online learning, students were all required to come back to school. Tameka was skeptical that the schools could keep her kids safe from COVID-19. One morning (in a test run), she sent two kids to school.

Her oldest daughter, then in seventh grade, and her second youngest, a boy entering first grade, boarded buses. She had yet to register the youngest girl, who was entering kindergarten. And her older son, a boy with Down syndrome, stayed home because she wasn't sure he could mask.

After a few hours, one school called: Come pick up your son, they told her. He was no longer enrolled.

Around lunchtime, the other called: Come get your daughter, they told her. She doesn't have a class schedule.

Tameka's children — all four of them — have been home ever since.
