Erin Kyle’s family faced significant disruptions after their townhouse was destroyed in the Palisades fire, forcing her daughter out of her beloved Palisades Charter High School. While the school shifts to virtual learning amid property damage, Kyle is frustrated by her daughter's education being disrupted once again, particularly after the challenges posed by COVID-19. The increasing frequency of such disasters due to climate change highlights a concerning lack of preparation and response concerning children's educational needs in America, as illustrated by Kyle's anger over the situation and its implications for her daughter's mental well-being and social development.
These kids suffered so much during that time period, she said. I have heard this complaint from many parents over the past few years: California opened up hair salons and restaurants but kept schools closed.
Just to have to do this again, it's terrible, Kyle said. I mean, she's traumatized from what we went through. We were stuck on the road for 45 minutes with fire on both sides of us trying to get out.
School disruption from natural disasters is becoming more common because of climate change, and America is not ready for it.
