As businesses closed during the lockdown, schools transitioned into online format. After finishing spring classes online, students across the United States cried for tuition reductions or refunds, citing decreased course quality.  Several post-secondary students look towards a fall semester with uncertainty; approximately twenty percent either do not plan on returning to college or have not yet decided whether they will enroll during the fall semester. Affordability is a primary challenge for students, who face college expenses in addition to common pay cuts and layoffs. Elementary and secondary schools have begun reevaluating their rules and procedures for the remainder of 2020. Schools are examining options ranging from alternating students on half-days (to minimize student contact), establishing year round schooling, or completing first semester online. Many teachers are using the pandemic to advocate a switch to competency based models, which measure progression not by the length of a course, but rather by a student's ability to complete specified tasks. Moving forward, projects may increasingly replace tests for these students.
