With at least 70% of America's schools closing, perhaps for the school year, districts are trying to figure out online school. It's not going well.
With at least 70% of America's schools shutting down and a chorus of prominent voices calling to close the rest, millions of parents entered a strange new reality this week: attempting to manage their children's education from the confines of home.
"Nobody is taking the bull by the horns and saying, 'This is what we're doing or should be doing,'"said Dan Domenech, head of the American Association of School Administrators."We need more guidance." "The first two weeks were brutal," said Mindy Rose, the director of college counseling at Shanghai American School, an international school in China, where her two children are also enrolled. The school shifted to distance learning on Feb. 3, when the coronavirus outbreak prompted schools to close in China.Rose came back to the States with her children, while her husband, who works for Disney, stayed behind in Shanghai.
Last week, the school even held a virtual"assembly" via a live webinar, which featured a speaker who talked about the science behind the coronavirus. The Northshore School District north of Kirkland, Washington, enrolls more than 25,000 students and started virtual classes last week. Schools are required to provide instruction equitably. Parents had raised concerns about difficulties children with disabilities, many of whom usually have paraeducators helping them at school, were having with the online program, according to a GeekWire report. The school also cited concerns about English language learners.
