Jordin Kadiri, a junior at Evanston Township High School, begins biology class online at home. Because of an outbreak of Covid, the school switched from in-person classes to remote learning during this last week before the winter break. “I think it’s easier this year because we already did it all last year,” said Kadiri, “so we know what to do. I think the teachers think it’s easier, too.” (Photo by Richard Cahan)
