The past two years have brought turbulence into millions of lives around the globe, beyond a doubt. Trauma touched the lives of hundreds of teens, invoking the needed increase in mental health services across the nation. Fulton County, encompassing the city of Atlanta, has increased its education budget to 1.4 billion to accommodate for the changing times and increased demand. However, Cobb County and other counties of the metro Atlanta area continue to handle the situation in a pre-pandemic way, despite the almost identical dependent makeup.

Resulting from community concern over “dangerous driving conditions,” Cobb County implemented a two hour delay for all schools in district. The county earned a reputation among students and parents alike for improperly judging conditions, spurred on by their choice to keep kids in school for the 2014 Snowpocalypse; the choice to delay did grant them some good graces, in spite of minor disappointment. “I thought it was probably a responsible decision on Cobb County’s part. I can’t lie, I was hoping for a cancellation tweet, but you know, I’ll take what I can get. I definitely used the extra sleep to refresh. I felt secure in coming to school because I have to drive a long way, so I thought it was a good decision: they did what they had to do,” junior Maggie Glancy said.
