Students from the Georgia school district in the viral photo speak

After Hannah shared a photo of a crowded hallway at North Paulding High School in Georgia, the school was met with national criticism.

Then, after Covid-19 cases emerged among students and staff, the school was temporarily closed. Now, parents are faced with the tough decision of choosing between live or distance learning when schools reopen.

The BBC spoke with students and a parent from the district about the county’s decision to start live learning as it happens.
