Be patient. It is a brave new world.

Except for "This is only temporary" this reflects my students. Their families have chosen online learning intentionally.

12DaisyofXmas : yes. I believe it will be a mix of distance and in person learning once we are past the worst of the pandemic.

Our enrollment - public online charter school - has doubled. I wonder how many new families will stay if schools open up full time?

depends on the family dynamic. Once it became necessary to have 2 incomes to afford a place to live, rent or own, it became difficult for kids to stay at home for things like distance learning.
