Online Learning in 2021 and Beyond: Insights from FLVS Parents

By Florida Virtual School on May 3rd, 2021

Last year, we saw one of society’s most significant cultural shifts as people transitioned from in-person birthday parties to Zoom parties, everyday outings to at-home alternatives, and traditional classrooms to online learning.
