Leamington mom Sadie Banroie said the pandemic was the final push she needed to home-school five of her six children. "When the pandemic hit, I kind of took on home-schooling them myself and found material," Banroie said. This anxiety among parents, children and teachers seems to have created a new interest in home-schooling, according to WE Home School group director Stephanie Pouget. The group consists of home-schoolers across Windsor-Essex, an association that was in operation pre-pandemic. Officials with one home-schooling group say they receive about three to four calls a day from new parents.
