As parents struggle to work with their children at home due to school closures, public recognition of the essential caretaking role schools play in society has skyrocketed. (www.brookings.edu/)
Teachers will need support and innovative ideas for navigating remote instruction without universal internet access or devices for their students—particularly those in rural, high-poverty schools. States and districts should seek innovative options to help teachers provide good instruction even when internet access is not possible. (www.rand.org)

Remember you must comment on all the three statements and you should support your opinions with arguments.
