Worcester parents, school officials clash over young students' screen time

WORCESTER – Parents expressed frustration after the School Committee declined to take up a petition to eliminate one-to-one device use for the youngest students in the Worcester Public Schools. The committee did vote to continue the discussion in a subcommittee. "The largest school districts in our country have put forward bans – New York City with 900,000 students and Los Angeles with 450,000 students," Noelia Chafoya, parent of a first grade student at Quinsigamond Elementary School, said during the Thursday, Nov. 12, School Committee meeting. "We know our educators work really hard and they are not putting students in front of a screen all day; however our youngest students learn in 10- to 15-minute increments. If we can repurpose that screen time for additional learning time, it would be greatly appreciated." In June, Chafoya and other parents filed a petition asking the district to remove devices from students between preschool and second grade in favor of more hands-on teacher-led instruction. Superintendent Brian Allen's office recommended the School Committee file the petition, which would have ended the possibility of it being implemented. "At this time, the administration is not making a recommendation on screen time. The district will continue to engage

Cord left Cape Cod coyote unable to move. Wildlife vets have questions

A Cape Cod coyote is showing signs of recovery after rescuers found a cord wound tightly around its neck, leaving the animal temporarily unable to move his legs and raising fears of a serious spinal injury. The eastern coyote was brought to the Cape Wildlife Center in Barnstable around midday on Nov. 9 after staff from the Yarmouth Division of Natural Resources rescued him. According to the department, a resident had noticed the animal in distress and reported it. "When he came in, he could not move any of his limbs at all," said Dr. Priya Patel, a veterinarian at Cape Wildlife Center . "He basically was just lying on the ground. He was aware.

Wildlife vets initially feared coyote had suffered spinal damage Patel said the veterinary team immediately feared the animal had suffered spinal trauma. The cord was so tightly wrapped around his neck that it could not be seen under the fur, and it was "constricting so much of the soft tissue," she said.
