Theresa Deckert on Home Schooling ~ Frontline Preview: "Love, Life and the Virus"

Tuesday, August 11, 2020 - We visit with Theresa Deckert of the North Dakota Home School Association, who says they’ve been quite busy lately. She and several other board members have been doing meetings around the state to answer questions for parents about the option of home schooling. ~~~ A USDA program that gives grants to farmers looking to add solar power to their operations is getting increased interest. Applications are up by fifty percent in some midwestern states. Harvest Public Media’s Jonathan Ahl reports. ~~~ Since the novel coronavirus arrived in the United States, we've followed the numbers ... infection rates, hospital capacity, and deaths. Behind each of those numbers is a deeply personal story of agony and isolation, hope, and community.  A new FRONTLINE film looks at one such story. "Love, Life and the Virus" focuses on a mother's fight to survive COVID-19 and see her newborn baby. Oscar Guerra is the producer, and he visits with Lori Walsh, host of In The Moment on South Dakota Public Broadcasting. The FRONTLINE episode airs tonight at 9:00 p.m. Central on the Prairie Public television service.
