“Online learning allows my son to focus more on his teachers and the instructional material without distractions and interruptions from classmates,” said Lindsay, whose 12-year-old son last set foot in a physical classroom on March 12. (Lindsay asked to use only her first name to preserve her son’s privacy.)
She said it has empowered him to take charge of his own learning: She and her husband both work, and all three of them sit in separate rooms, behind closed doors. They have set the expectation that their son comes to them only when he has a technology issue. Otherwise, he is on his own.
