[quote=Anonymous]I've read the claim that minority and low-income families tend to be supportive of distance learning over in-person learning.  I'd be curious to see the data on that.  I know that lines up with surveys that Montgomery County has done, but those surveys have a very strong selection bias.  They basically send out emails with a link to a survey and see who responds.  The demographics collected in the survey show they're not getting an accurate cross-section.

I believe some other counties will follow-up with phone calls to even out the demographics, but even then they're not statistically reliable.

Those survey results might reflect reality.  I don't really know.  But I suspect the people most interested in having their kids go to school are the ones that are too busy working in-person at their jobs to respond to the survey.

In particular, I'd love to see how the demographics break down.  How does income impact it?  Parents working in-person?  Parents working at home?  Unemployed?[/quote]
