Plymouth families look to homeschooling as alternative to hybrid learning plan
Wicked Local
PLYMOUTH - With six children under the age of 13, Kathy Bom Conselho faced a difficult decision as the town contemplated a return to classes last summer.
Bom Conselho already had issues with the multiple platforms and programs her four school-age children had been learning under last spring. The Manomet woman learned the hard way that the Chromebook the district sent home with her oldest child last spring didn’t have parental controls.
Bom Conselho didn’t relish the thought of having her children spending so much time on computer screens anyway, but the prospect of keeping her incoming first-grader connected with her teacher and classmates from home finally forced her hand.
