Pandemic forces parents to seek homeschooling for students | The Sacramento Bee

For Laila Barakat s children, school will be home, like other students in their district. But they won t participate in distance learning. Their teachers will be mom and dad.

Barakat has decided to homeschool her three school-aged children one in first grade, one in transitional kindergarten, and one in pre-kindergarten instead of connecting them to an online classroom.

We just decided to take the leap, said Barakat, a stay-at-home mom and freelance writer in Elk Grove. At first it seemed like a radical thing, and now more and more people are doing it.

Maybe this pandemic will lead to a permanent shift toward homeschooling.
