For 27 years, West Chicago Community High School American Government teachers have prepared senior students to “live” democracy through the award winning semester-long legislative simulation. The COVID-18 pandemic was going to cause difficulties in presenting this to youth in a meaningful manner. The almost 250 seniors wanted this program, teachers devised ways to make it work and technology stepped in to make certain all i’s were dotted and t’s crossed to make the situation “live” and the effort was worth it.
