Topic: Desks of Their Own Help Children with Online School.

Translation Summary: As online schooling took effect during the coronavirus pandemic, parents across the United States noted that many children did not have their own learning areas at home.
So, they got busy. They built, collected, and donated desks. Hundreds, maybe even thousands, of students in the U.S. now have workspaces to call their own. Parents say this is helping their children get through long days of online learning at home.
One father, named Mitch Couch, lives in central California. His 16-year-old daughter and 9-year-old son are both studying from home. And they kept taking over the kitchen table for their online school lessons. He said this gave him an idea -- he would make them their own desks.
After seeing how it helped his family, he had a thought: Why not provide other children with their own desks -- ones that they could decorate with stickers and fun paint?
His idea was to show others how to build desks for their children. He made a quick YouTube video to guide parents in desk-making.
