How COVID-19 disrupted education

from Understand SC Hosted by The Post and Courier

Students, teachers and parents across South Carolina have been adjusting to a "new normal." Most colleges canceled in-person classes for the rest of the semester, and K-12 students in the state will be learning from home at least through April 30. With those changes come a slew of new challenges, from coordinating virtual lectures on Zoom to making sure students from low-income households still have access to free lunches. Education reporter Jenna Schiferl joined us — virtually, just like last week, since our reporters are working from home — to talk about how coronavirus closures have affected every level of education in South Carolina. We also spoke with one Charleston parent to see how she and her eight-year-old son have been navigating the transition to remote learning. Listen to find out.
