The COVID-19 crisis has severely affected the lives of virtually everyone, and K-12 families, students, and teachers have not been spared.

Homeschooling has become increasingly popular over the years. Before the pandemic, more than 2.5 million K-12 students were being homeschooled, and that number was growing at around 5% per year. Because of quarantines, millions of parents and students became instant homeschoolers, which was made more difficult because too many public school districts were slow or even reluctant to transition to online learning.
