“Online school won’t work if I don’t have power,” said single mother of six children Channa Jackson, who fights to stay awake after logging in her children into virtual school in various stages of alertness on Thursday, Oct. 8, 2020, at her home in the Mount Pleasant neighborhood. From left to right are her children Stephanie, 12, Lamar, 11, Mekiya, 6, and Zakoria,7. Jackson just enrolled her children in school in the final days of September after a night position became available at her new job at Wendy’s. The kids school attendance fluctuates.
