Some children are getting short-changed because they have teachers who are not adapting well to presenting lessons online. Also many children have been assigned to classes with first-year teachers. New teachers need the support of experienced teachers to learn how to handle their students and the wide variety of learning levels within their classrooms.

What can parents do in this situation?

  1. Go to your state’s Department of Education website and find out what your children should be learning at their grade level.
  2. If your children are not learning what they should be learning, investigate using your state’s free online school. This established virtual curriculum meets state guidelines and has experienced online teachers.
