Homeschooling & Coronavirus
According to a recent article from CNN, “Around 180 million students across Hong Kong and mainland China have been schooling from home.” The earliest that traditional schooling will restart is in late April at the earliest.
With the coronavirus outbreak continuing to spread, and several schools already closed, we may see something like this in the United States as well. The New York Times reports that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has told United States schools to develop plans for school shutting down for extended periods of time.
For information about coronavirus, please refer to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention or the World Health Organization.
