Around the country, millions of families are wrestling with the litany of challenges posed by the current coronavirus lockdown and school closures that have accompanied it. To date, over 55 million students in the US have been affected by school closures, both public and private, and in most cases, the responsibility to educate America\u2019s children has fallen to parents.
