There have been predictions that the number of school dropout will dramatically increase.
Significant numbers of students have been unable to access the internet because where they live, internet service is too unstable or not available or unaffordable. Some children live in homes where there are 5 family members and one computer.
Children are being bored by on line instruction, huge numbers of parents have become unemployed and many children feel the need to go to work to help support and feed the family. Others feel obligated to take care of siblings in lieu of stable childcare. Children are going through a transitional period. Many kindergarten children who used to look forward to far-to-face instruction do not know what to expect. High school students are missing important credits making it impossible for them two graduate on time.
Having written 13 books on preventing school dropouts, I will be posting suggestions for teachers of all grades, principals and superintendents to follow to deal with national tragedy.
