According to a nationwide New York Times survey, only 1 in 7 parents say their children will be returning full time to in-person instruction for the 2020-21 school year, and 4 of 5 parents say they had no outside help in educating or providing childcare for their children.More than half of the parents polled in the survey said they will need to be actively overseeing and administering their children's remote learning plans in addition to working full time in or outside the home.
Among parents who work solely outside the home, 75% said they are still responsible for managing their children's e-learning schedules.The survey was conducted among a nationally representative group of 1,081 parents from Aug 4 to 8.
