Commentary Feature
This element is something that Fordham can rotate out to highlight a resource of something very topical. The feature itself is “showing” Fordham-National policy work while the supporting copy is “telling” the user about Fordham-national policy work.

With more than half of states closing their schools due to the coronavirus pandemic, hundreds of thousands of parents, grandparents, and other caregivers have become de facto “home schoolers” practically overnight. Students in this situation will likely be spending a fair amount of time on screens—as a lifeline, respite, or both. We have compiled some excellent suggestions—updated several times since initial publication—for making at least some of that time educational.
