Parents questioned school choices over lockdown - survey

From Morning Report, 8:36 am on 28 July 2020

A survey of hundreds of parents has found that some started to question their choice of school during the lockdown.

The research looked into parents' experiences of helping children do maths at home during nearly eight weeks of distance learning.

It found that differences between teachers and schools led some to question whether their children were getting the help they needed.
