We need FUSD (Fremont Unified School District) to start live online classes during the COVID-19 coronavirus shut down. Everyone in America is coming up with innovative solutions to deal with the problem. For e.g. Where possible companies have implemented work from home (WFH), the governments have put in motion an entire set of steps that have been unprecedented to deal with the crisis. What FUSD has done in this time is simply close schools, send out material via emails, and not even giving any feedback about child's progress or performance.

One of the critical skills we reinforce with our children is the ability to adapt in adversity and every adversity has a seed of opportunity. FUSD needs to demonstrate that by example and start live online classes. Shut down by government for social distancing is a need to stop the virus spread but shut down by school with no interactions is not acceptable.

Many parents WFH are also stressed out about having to perform at work while having to parent full time. We need FUSD to immediately think about creative solutions and reopen classes online. In addition, not all parents are skilled at handling questions children come up with. There is no substitute for some sort of live interaction between teacher and students.

Governor Newsom has passed an executive order for distance learning: https://www.cde.ca.gov/ls/he/hn/distancelearning.asp

Note: A few individual teachers seem to have taken initiative but this appeal is about FUSD to come up with measures
