Shana Bolden’s day begins at 4 a.m. As a teacher in the West Bolivar Consolidated School District in the Mississippi Delta, she teaches 11th and 12th grade AP biology. And chemistry, and human anatomy and physiology.
She not only shuttles between teaching all those subjects, but does so between two separate schools. Every other day, Bolden travels to one of the schools to instruct in-person learning, while students in the other school do remote work. The next day, the process is reversed.
Bolden’s long days can be grueling, but she says she does it all for the children.
