Here’s the understatement of the year: Our educational system is in a state of flux.

Parents and many grandparents know first-hand the reality of this mess. Some of you have decided to homeschool your children, bought the necessary books and supplies, and now, face the challenges of that new endeavor. Others whose students remain enrolled in public or private schools are distance learning as they did this past spring, or are attending school two or three days a week and engaging in digital learning the rest of the time.
