By Michael J. Herman
In Pressure Mounts to Reopen Schools an article for #TheWallStreetJournal #DanielHenninger  (Feb 3, 2021) discusses the problems with mass home schooling and opening schools for in-person attendance. Among the issues presented in the article, Henninger reports that enrollment in Los Angeles schools has fallen by nearly half and that parents are tiring of schools being closed.
