NEWS RELEASE
Schooling status during pandemic predicted parents' resilience
Parents accustomed to home schooling felt more resilient during the COVID-19 pandemic than those whose public-school children were suddenly housebound, according to a Rice study. The report by lead author Laura Kabiri of the Department of Kinesiology and alumna Annie Chen polled 123 parents of school-age youth in 2020 and found the type of schooling students received pre-pandemic had a direct impact upon parents' perceived resilience.
