Coronavirus (Covid-19) is all over the news and has severely disrupted the daily lives of hundreds of millions of people throughout the world. There are numerous states that have closed all of their public schools and many private schools have followed their lead. In this mass experiment, of the forced decentralization of education to a home-based setting, what will parents do? Please read and share this awesome Homeschooling during Coronavirus blog post from my friend Garritt Hampton with Schoolhouse Rocked.
p.s. As a Christian homeschool community, let us step boldly into the chaos to provide our help, encouragement, and homeschooling wisdom to our friends and neighbors whose lives have been turned upside down.
