"Homeschooling surges amid coronavirus lockdown"

"The coronavirus lockdown has forced parents across the United States to turn to homeschooling as the only way to educate their kids.

On the evening of March 19, almost all states decided to close all schools.

'Combined with district closures in other states, at least 104,000 U.S. public and private schools are closed, are scheduled to close, or were closed and later reopened, affecting at least 47.9 million school students,' according to Education Week.

At the same time, the number of 'online resources for families and teachers is growing as social distancing becomes the necessary, new normal,' wrote Lindsey M. Burke of The Heritage Foundation. 'But policy actions by officials in school districts and state governments, as well as at the federal level, can maximize health and safety and provide learning opportunities for students,' she is convinced."
