OPINION
Students need hybrid models By Danette Howard Higher Ed Dive As colleges and universities prepared for the fall semester, administrators, faculty, and staff had many discussions around what it will take to return to “normal” — the way things were before the COVID-19 pandemic. For some, back to normal means suspending online instruction. Despite low vaccination numbers among its students, Wofford College in South Carolina was among the colleges that decided to hold all in-person classes; no remote learning options were available to students. Cornell University followed suit, announcing that in-person teaching is “essential” and that any requests for remote instruction will be denied. Boston University suspended its Learn from Anywhere program, a hybrid approach it began during the pandemic. In announcing the change, a

The stereotypical image — a high school graduate heading straight to college, relying on parents to pay tuition — applies less and less. Yet over the decades, the college experience hadn’t changed much — until COVID-19 hit. The pandemic revealed startling racial and socioeconomic disparities in students’ ability to learn in a fully online environment, forcing educators and government leaders to innovate to address the shortcomings. According to a recent Pew Research study, 80 percent of White adults reported owning a desktop or laptop computer, compared to 69 percent of Black adults and 67 percent of Hispanic adults. — Danette Howard is senior vice president and chief policy officer at the Lumina Foundation.
COVID has increased eating disorders By Julia Taylor The Conversation Eating disorders began to spike among young people shortly after the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. Experts believe the increase occurred due to disruptions in daily living, emotional distress and more time spent on social media – which research has shown can lead to lower self-esteem and negative body image. One peer-reviewed study indicates that eating disorder diagnoses increased 15% in 2020 among people under 30 compared to previous years. Other studies have suggested that patients who already had an eating disorder diagnosis got worse during the pandemic. The researchers reported an increase in eating disorder symptoms along with anxiety and depression. Eating disorders include anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge eating disorder and other specified feeding and eating disorders such as atypical anorexia. The peak age of onset is 15-25 years old, but individuals can develop eating disorders at any age.

Eating disorders are devastating mental illnesses that have massive social and economic costs. They also carry among the highest mortality rates of all of the psychiatric diagnoses and wreak havoc on the lives of individuals and their loved ones. Early intervention is important to reduce long-term illness and the emotional and physical devastation that can occur with eating disorders. Breaking down barriers for identification and treatment for all individuals – including boys, sexual and gender minority youth and kids across the weight spectrum – will improve outcomes for those who struggle with these significant illnesses. — Julia Taylor is an assistant professor of Pediatrics at the University of Virginia.

LISD buses get spooky for Halloween By Arthur Clayborn KLTV Longview ISD has announced the winner for their Halloween bus contest. Bus drivers were encouraged to decorate their buses in the Halloween spirit and then judges voted on the top three buses. This year’s winner says she went for a spooky approach. “To make it resemble being a haunted house, scary enough to where kids don’t want to ride. It’s nice to get noticed so every
time somebody rides by you will have people looking or blowing or whatever. The kids will be waving and whatever. It’s a good feeling, it’s a good feeling. Not only are the kids that ride my bus happy even the people in the community that sees this, they really enjoy it as well,” said Longview ISD bus driver Sheree Vaughn. Vaughn won a free parking space in the front for her personal vehicle for a week, plus she gets to drive her bus in the Christmas parade.

THE LONGVIEW VOICE — November 7, 2021 DAY |Continued from page 1 8,125 students reported this time last year. However, LISD Superintendent Dr. James Wilcox said the administration “does not put much stock” in the changes. “There’s always some variation in these [enrollment numbers] from week-to-week and year-to-year, and even more volatility than usual due to COVID-19, but it’s not something we’re concerned about,” he said. “Some years we’re up, some years we’re down.” Wilcox added that the greater Longview area itself “is continuing to grow as a community.” “Longview ISD will continue to grow with it, that much is certain,” he said. “Our focus is on continuing to provide the best educational opportunities for all the students of Longview.” Districts are required to mark enrollment data on Snapshot Day — the last Friday of October — and report it to the TEA by December. The data is collected for several reasons, including to determine funding from the state, the biennial UIL realignment, and accountability ratings. Current enrollment numbers for the rest of Longview ISD campuses are as follows: • East Texas Montessori Prep Academy: 1,041 • Foster Middle: 794 • Judson Middle: 603 • Hudson PEP Elementary: 578 • Forest Park Middle: 482 • Everhart Elementary: 480 • Ware Elementary: 456 • Bramlette Elementary: 446 • Johnston-McQueen Elementary: 423 • Ned E.

OBITUARIES Longview ISD offers our most sincere condolences to our extended Lobo family Doris Mann Morrison Doris Mann Morrison, age 101, passed away on September 11, 2021, at her home in Tyler, TX, in the loving care of her son, Jay. Doris was born in Mena, AR, on January 28, 1920. She was the daughter of Frank and Janet Mann, MORRISON of McAlester, OK. Doris, the oldest of four daughters, grew up in McAlester, where she lived until about the year 1934, when she moved to Longview, TX, to live with an aunt and uncle. She attended Longview High School and graduated in 1937. After graduating from high school, Doris began a lifelong career in the dental profession, working as a chairside assistant for several dentists in the Longview area. It was through that association that she met a young Baylor Dental School student, James E. Morrison, from Hawkins, TX. They were married December 28, 1941. They had two sons: James (Jay) E. Morrison Jr., of Tyler, TX; and Marc A. Morrison, of Tyler, TX. After a divorce, Doris found herself and two sons in Tyler, where she would call “home” until the day of her death. Being an unemployed single parent of two young sons, Doris turned to the only profession she knew: dentistry. So, in about 1955, Doris began working as a dental assistant for Dr. J. Howard Morrison (and wife, June). This career would span the next fifty-two years, transitioning from Dr. J. Howard Morrison to his son, Dr. Jim C. Morrison (and wife Sherry), and would include some three generations of families as patients in that era. It was finally, in 2007, at age 87, that Doris decided to retire. Living only two blocks from the dental office, Doris would continue to pop in occasionally, always checking on the “girls”, the office staff that she still considered part of her brood. While rearing two sons and helping to manage a dental office were top priorities in her life, the two true loves of Doris’ life were her granddaughters: Jay’s daughter, Stephanie M. Evans (of Mt. Juliet, TN); and Marc’s daughter, Meg M. Pennell (of Tyler, TX).
Stephanie lived some twelve hours away from Tyler, not an ideal situation for a loving grandmother, but “Granny” would not let that deter her. She kept up with all of Stephanie’s activities, and every summer, Christmas, and holiday that allowed it, Granny had a fun-filled stay waiting for Stephanie’s visits. After Stephanie married and moved to Tennessee, having two children of her own (J.D. and Anna Claire Evans), Granny faithfully trekked with Jay to visit them, making her last trip in July of 2021. Eighteen years after Stephanie was born, Doris got her second granddaughter. Meg enjoyed the benefit of living in the same town as her “Nana”. While Nana was still working, Wednesdays were special days. Nana would pick up Meg from school, then head to Nana’s house for some special oatmeal or cheese soup. Nana made every school event she could to watch whatever Meg was involved in. It was a blessing for Meg and Nana to have those years together, and those memories will be cherished forever. Doris accepted Jesus Christ as her Savior at an early age. She followed that faith with a life-long study of the word of God, through the teaching of Pastor Albert Hill, at Patriots Church in Tyler; and through the audio tapes of R.B. Thieme, Jr., of Berachah Church in Houston, Texas. Doris was preceded in death by her parents; her three beloved sisters: Frances Mann, Martha Adams, and Eileen Cannon; two nieces and two nephews; along with her best friend of sixty years, Nina Colvin. She is survived by her two sons: Jay Morrison and Marc Morrison (Ronna), both of Tyler; granddaughter Stephanie Evans (Sean) of Mt. Juliet, TN; granddaughter Meg Pennell (Collin) of Tyler; two great grandchildren: J.D. Evans and Anna Claire Evans, of Mt. Juliet, TN; numerous nieces, nephews, great nieces, and great nephews. A visitation will be held Sunday, November 21, 2021, at the home of Meg Pennell, in Tyler, from 2PM to 4PM. Contact Marc Morrison at 903-530-4834 for address or any questions. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Berachah Church, 2815 Sage Road, Houston,, TX 77056.
