Abstract
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, many public schools opted to begin the Fall 2020 school year with virtual instruction. Like any product, virtual instruction is only as valuable as it benefits the consumer. In education, the consumer is the student, but in the aspect of virtual instruction, the parent is also a consumer. Through semi-structured interviews, this study strives to identify the benefits and challenges parents and students perceive in their lived experiences with virtual instruction in Fall 2020. Education stakeholders can use these findings to better address the learning needs of students and families participating in virtual instruction.
