Universities have sounded the alarm as the coronavirus cases have spiked just days into the schools resuming in-person learning. The University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa has seen a huge spike of over 500 cases since they reopened their school. This alarm that has been sounded by the schools could result in all the kids going back home. One person said the rise in cases was not acceptable and that if it goes unchecked students should just stay home.

Key takeaways

  1. There have been over 500 cases of the virus at the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa.
  2. Many feel the rise in recent cases is not acceptable.
  3. Some schools are requiring masks and mandating testing as well.

Get your free personalized learning roadmap

You describe what you see at home. We turn it into a plan you start this week.

  • Answer 5 short questionnaires about what you already notice, 30–45 minutes at your own kitchen table
  • Your child sits no test and gets no score: nothing to schedule, nothing for them to dread
  • You do the answering, the AI does the writing, and a person reviews it before it reaches you
  • Access all 40+ courses instantly: reading, math, focus, processing and more, with new ones added regularly

Why we use AI, plainly: it writes from a knowledge base our team maintains and audits. We work through it line by line and pull anything the evidence stops supporting. The roadmap you get on Tuesday reflects what we corrected on Monday, and a human still reads it before you do.

Your school district must evaluate your child free of charge if you ask in writing, whatever your income and whatever the outcome (US, 34 CFR 300.111 and 300.301(b)). That route takes time and answers a different question than you do. This one starts today, from what you already know.

Your answers stay yours. We do not sell your personal information, and we do not hand identifiable assessment data to outside AI companies to train their models.

A screener is a starting point, not a diagnosis. If your child might need formal accommodations (an IEP or 504 plan), or you suspect a vision, hearing or medical cause, pursue a professional evaluation too. That is the only route to those supports.
