ALBEMARLE CO., Va. (WVIR) - A new survey from the Wason Center for Civic Leadership at Christopher Newport University found that even though majority of parents in Virginia are satisfied with the way their child’s school district has responded to COVID-19, roughly 75% are worried about their child falling behind while learning in a mostly virtual environment.
“These parents are feeling like, well the school system might be doing the best they can in this environment, but they feel like their children are not be really understanding the material or that they’re not getting the best education possible in a normal circumstance,” said Research Director Rebecca Brumley-Trujillo.
