This came up in the morning, and it's an interesting topic from HR (my regional public TV network). The subject? Schools cancelled because of the virus and kids being given home-work to complete at home, with the parents helping.
The state advisory board is now worried because a fair number of the kids are trying to accomplish home-work, and the parents are not geared at that level. The hint? Various math and science assignments are way beyond most German parents.
My humble belief is that the 'experts' are trying not to embarrass the parents, but they have a reasonable point. This school cancelled business can operate for a short period of time. I can't imagine them trying to do this....all the way to summer vacation, and then restart in August. It'd be almost a quarter-year of school time missing and half the kids not really advancing like you'd expect.
