It's almost impossible for kindergarten students and first graders to learn remotely without adult supervision. It's difficult for parents to oversee remote learning and do their jobs at the same time, even if they're working from home.

So KIPP Newark, a free, public charter school network in Newark, N.J., started offering a kindergarten and first grade class at night in mid-October. For working parents and high-needs children, the 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. window made a big difference.  Do you agree with this alternative?
