With the COVID-19 virus closing schools in China, South Korea, Italy, and the United States, parents are having to make a sudden and unexpected change in their children’s education. Most often, it means shifting education into the home.
This learning at home looks different in different places. In Hong Kong, the government ordered 800,000 students to take what the Wall Street Journal calls “a crash course in digital learning.”
In New York City, parents are already seeking out homeschooling resources that fit their children and their families in preparation for any school closings.
The freedom of parents to choose the kind of education that’s best for each child is something we’ve been advocating for more than 35 years.
Whether a child is facing bullying, a challenging medical condition, or a unique family situation (such as frequent military reassignments), learning at home can provide an immediate and customized solution. And homeschooling doesn’t have to be a stop-gap measure. In fact, millions of students have discovered how home education empowers them to thrive.

Don't laugh. I'll bet there are a lot of parents out there thinking exactly that. They pay their taxes, they expect the Government to babysit their children from birth until adulthood.
Arguing with humblegunner is like mud wrestling with a pig. You both get dirty and the pig likes it!
Good move. Keep it up through the challenging times. We graduated four. None are dorks. One is a geek and has a very well compensated geek engineering job.
If pointing out that dorks get bullied is sanctimonious, then yeah.
I'm that.
No, your sanctimony is your ignorant pontification that most homeschoolers were bullied dorks.
You revel in your own ignorance of fact and truth.
So you're mad because your kid is a dork and got bullied.
Honestly that is most likely no fault of mine.
That doesn’t change what I said about the school system one bit.
OMG, you barbarian!!
Watching the news, it seems parents are no longer capable of preparing food for their own children.
That's a nasty little personality disorder you got there.
You should probably seek professional help.
It brings me joy.
I wouldn't deny you the simple pleasures. LOL
There is zero evidence that Mark Frilot’s kids brought Cov-19 home from school.
Nobody said they did.
But there’s plenty of evidence kids spread it, asymptomatically, among themselves and can infect others.
They’re the perfect spreaders that way.
Go hug gramma!
“But there’s plenty of evidence kids spread it, asymptomatically, among themselves and can infect others.”
No there is not.
“Dorks get bullied because they are dorks.
It’s tradition.”
What a moronic comment on a conservative website.
This “d**k” is going to flag you for using foul language.
Oh no.
Whatever shall I do.
Do it for the right reasons, for the wrong reasons, any reason.
