NC study finds Latinos, immigrants face unique challenges learning from home
Betina Wilkinson, Wake Forest professor of politics and international affairs, examined the educational effects of the pandemic in Latinos in Forsyth County. She and a group of her students held interviews with a total of 40 parents, teachers and Local nonprofit leaders. Some parents shared that they experienced barriers in helping them with their homework because they weren’t comfortable enough with English. “When the teacher is teaching them, the parents may not really be able to help them as much as they would like with the homework, so older siblings are trying to step in to help,” Wilkinson said.

Yamane family strings racquets for players at French Open tennis championship
David Yamane, a professor in Wake Forest’s sociology department, and his son, Paul, spent several days at the French Open in Paris the last couple of weeks as part of Wilson’s Sporting Goods team of 24 stringers. It’s a big deal to be asked to be a part of a Grand Slam event, and the Yamanes loved it. “I started stringing when Paul was a junior player just to save a little money,” Yamane said about an eventual side business that’s called Big Time! Tennis. In 2008, the Wake Forest men’s tennis team was looking for somebody to string their racquets, and Yamane started doing it. And he hasn’t stopped, as the business grew to where now Paul, 25, is leading the way.
