ARVADA, Co. — The Robinson home is now a cafeteria, a classroom and a gym.The family’s six children are in five different grade levels, spanning from kindergarten to high school. At the beginning of the school year, some of the kids did in-person learning for part of the week.“I was very grateful when they were able to go to school,” said the mother of six, Alexi Robinson.With COVID-19 cases spiking this winter, all six are indefinitely back to remote learning. The decision dropped a heavyweight on Robinson.“I was like, ‘Close the restaurants, close the mall, close everything. Just please let's keep the kids in school,’ because it's, it's just so hard. It's so hard and so frustrating. I just want to, just break down and cry,” said the mother.Robinson and her husband both work full-time to support their family. “I leave before they're awake for the day. My husband is gone sunup to sundown every day. He travels a lot out of town as well,” said Robinson.Robinson says her older kids have been taking on the teaching role while she and her husband work.“I couldn't do it without them, but then I don't want them to suffer either. They get reprimanded by their teachers, you know, if they're late or if they leave for a second or whatever else and so it's hard,” said Robinson.Riker, a freshman in high school, and Halle, a sixth-grader, said they’re struggling in their own classes just to help their siblings.“You just can't focus,” said Riker. “Like sometimes, you're on remote by yourself, and you still can't focus. But you know with the kids around, it's noisy. It's just hard. It's really hard.”They said being both a teacher and a student is taking a serious mental toll.“Because they're so little, they don't understand when we need to work,” said Halle.“I’m used to being kind of like the oldest, and you know, the babysitter, but this is like a whole other level, just like stress and it’s just getting, just difficult,” said Riker.It’s especially tough because the two youngest children are in special education for speech therapy.“It’s harder for them to stay caught up without that extra help of the live teachers, so they could they all could potentially fall behind,” said Alexi.Falling behind is a concern for families across the country. Teachers like Lindsay Datko are fighting to help.“If they miss those developmental windows, it will take them years to overcome habits that were poorly formed for the average student. So, we will see the effects of this for years to come if we don't act now,” Datko explained.Datko is tutoring students who are doing remote learning, and she’s been working with local leaders for months to give families a chance to choose whether in person or remote learning works best for their students.“The whole spectrum is struggling, and we can do something. I know that there are teachers who are truly fearful for different reasons, and we respect that. We are pushing for the choice," she said.Datko said there are countless teachers willing to go back to school in her district, and she hopes leaders will acknowledge those educators and families wanting to go back to school.The Robinsons are hoping the new year will bring them the choice to send their children to school.“I know that they do a lot better in school,” said Alexi. “I hope that we can get through it.” 3336

Are masks complicating facial recognition software? The short answer is no, but masks do complicate matters.Computer science experts say that face coverings and other accessories may act as a speedbump, but it wouldn’t be very difficult for the software to be modified.However, with a face covering, recognition may be less accurate.“It has fewer data points and that is the concern,” Steve Beaty, computer science professor at Metro State University-Denver, said. “Because you are essentially removing your nose and your mouth from the equation if you will, there will be fewer data points and the concern is that other people can authenticate as you.”Before the use of face masks, facial recognition software had an inaccuracy rate of less than 1 percent. Now, the National Institute of Standards and Technology estimates that the inaccuracy rate has increased from 5 to 20 percent. 892

Americans aren’t exercising like they used to.“I’ve definitely been walking a whole lot less since the coronavirus hit,” Nathan Martin said.With social distancing orders put into place, the pandemic has many people spending more time at home.“I was a little bit less active and more Netflix,” Hannah Hockensmith said.Now, a new study is showing this drop in physical activity is increasing health concerns across the globe.“COVID-19 is a worldwide phenomenon unlike anything else we’ve seen in generations,” said Dr. Geoff Tison, a cardiologist at the University of California, San Francisco.Tison recently finished a new study using smartphone apps to track the step counts from almost half a million people in countries worldwide.The data was collected from mid-January to early June and the findings show the world is walking a lot less.“Within the first month of the pandemic, declaration activity decreased by about 27%,” he said.Tison says this lack of physical activity could damage people’s health, especially in older adults.“With decreased activity, increased sitting on the couch, just not being as active is muscle mass can start to decrease as can bone density,” he said.In America, the study shows the biggest drop in step counts happened in New York City while Dallas had the smallest decrease.“The changes in activity seem to reflect adherence to social distancing at least to a degree,” Tison said.To increase exercise indoors, Tison says is all about thinking outside the box.“You can do similar exercises, work similar muscles with things around the house,” he said. “Use a gallon of milk instead of a dumbbell.”To exercise outdoors, however, Tison believes changes need to happen at the city and state levels.“Policy makers, governments need to be creative understanding that people are humans and want to be active and want do things,” he said. “But to enable them to do that safely.” 1913

Andy Parker, whose daughter Alison was killed on live television during a news report two years ago, said Thursday he was considering running for the seat of retiring Virginia Rep. Bob Goodlatte.Parker has been an outspoken critic of Goodlatte, the powerful chairman of the House judiciary committee, for his longstanding ties with the National Rifle Association. Parker's daughter lived in Goodlatte's district, and the father has pushed for gun control ever since she was killed.Parker said he's been talking with his family about the possibility of running for the seat as a Democrat. Parker lives outside the district, and if he were to run and win, his family would have to move."I've got some time to ponder it," Parker said.Parker said he was at the dentist's office Thursday morning when his daughter's boyfriend, Chris Hurst, texted him with the news about Goodlatte's retirement. Hurst on Tuesday won a seat in the Virginia statehouse."I feel like the dog chasing the car and finally caught it," Parker said of Goodlatte not seeking re-election. "I'm just glad to see the guy is finally going to get out of office."Parker said he joked with his wife, Barbara, that she should run, but she immediately ruled out that possibility.The father has been an outspoken advocate for his daughter, who was shot to death during a live broadcast in August 2015. The man who killed Alison had a turbulent work history that wasn't known to staff at her Roanoke, Virginia, TV station when he was first hired there.Goodlatte has been in office since 1993, winning by huge margins throughout his career. He holds an "A" grade from the NRA for his longstanding support of gun rights.Parker had pressed Goodlatte to hold a hearing on legislation to reduce gun violence in the months after Alison was killed. He called out the congressman on TV and in op-eds for being in the "pocket of the NRA.""It's good for the country that he's leaving office," Parker said. 1965

As Americans slowly return to work, older workers are finding the current economic situation much harder to navigate than their younger counterparts.Many large companies, including the airlines, are offering early retirement packages. For older workers, those buyouts come with uncertainty for their financial future.“These are tough times, especially for older workers,” said Susan Weinstock with the AARP.Weinstock’s concern is older workers are being forced out of work without enough saved for retirement. According to AARP, half of full-time workers experience job loss after the age of 50. It typically takes them double the time to get back into the work force as it does a younger worker, and even if they find a job, they end up making less money.For those over the age of 50 who have suddenly lost their job because of COVID-19, there's also less time to make up retirement savings that were lost.“We know saving through work is the best way to save for retirement, and when you don’t have that option it makes it a lot harder,” Weinstock said.Weinstock's advice if you're over the age of 50 and out of work is to use this time to upscale or re-scale. She suggests finding an online class. Showing employers that you're a lifelong learner can make you more marketable.“We want to make sure older workers are able to recover from this, along with everybody else in the economy,” Weinstock added.For those working from home, Weinstock recommends taking the money you might have spent on commuting and putting it into your retirement account. 1557
