We are grandparents of four children currently enrolled in Catholic grammar schools in the archdiocese. We applaud the decision to close schools during this current health crisis. What we do not understand is why some of these schools are providing online instruction with live teacher interaction ( i.e. Zoom), while other schools are not. At some schools, students were sent home with instructional material and basically told to, we assume, figure it out on their own. We also understand that many families may not have access to a computer or other digital devices but in those situations, should not the archdiocese use its resources to intervene and assist these families in acquiring access? If 90 schools can be required to close by the archdiocese, then those same schools should be required to offer online instruction to their students.
