TryHomeschooling.com Helps Families Create an Emergency Homeschooling Plan
GRAY, TN, UNITED STATES, March 17, 2020 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Some 300 million students are now forced to do their schoolwork at home, whether parents are prepared or not. South Korea, Italy, Iran, Japan, France, Pakistan, and India have shuttered their schools, and now that the COVID-19 virus has crossed the Atlantic, over 30 states are also requiring that K–12 schools close their doors. Several districts are even considering closing for the rest of the school year. While parents are scrambling to find childcare, emergency homeschooling solutions, and assistance in this time of crisis, online companies known for serving the homeschooling community are beginning to rise to the occasion.
“Although the sudden changes taking place might be difficult for many children, if parents stay calm and come up with a plan, this pandemic might end up bringing families closer together in the end,” states Gena Suarez, publisher of The Old Schoolhouse® Magazine. “Our team of experienced home educators are ready and willing to provide resources, counsel, and assistance to any parent looking for structure in the upcoming days of uncertainty.”
Forbes has labeled it The World’s Homeschooling Moment, even though parents might not feel qualified or ready to homeschool their children. Families who have never otherwise considered homeschooling need not fear the term. If they have ever helped their children with their homework, then they have homeschooled. If their child has ever been out of school for several days at a time due to an illness or blizzard, then they have homeschooled. For years, teachers have been assigning homework and creating packets for students who need to be home for an extended time. Now, it is simply on a larger scale. TryHomeschooling.com provides free resources for families now thrust into the homeschool world. To help assist parents while their children are home for an extended time, SchoolhouseTeachers.com, an online homeschool curriculum platform, is welcoming anyone displaced by the COVID-19 related school closings to try their online courses.
