Parents struggle with home schooling and online learning

Familiarity hasn’t been conceptually kind to distance learning the past seven months, as the number of California parents supporting the idea has plummeted since March, according to a statewide poll from The Education Trust – West.

In March 2020, when Covid-19 began closing schools, 57 percent of state parents supported the idea of distance learning, according to a similar poll. That number has dropped 22 points, with only 35 percent of parents rating their child’s experience with distance learning as “successful.”
