Succeeding With Distance Learning
Collum says it's important for parents to be positive and not let their children see their worries or frustrations: "Do not let the children take on that burden and think they are a cause of it." fizkes/Shutterstock

School will look quite different this year. Some students will spend their days in a classroom, socially distanced from peers and faces covered by a mask. Others will spend some days like that and some days learning from a distance. Some will spend all of their school time at home, “distance learning” for the foreseeable future. Still others are opting out altogether, with parents taking education into their own hands by choosing to homeschool instead.
For parents sticking with the public school system or their private school’s arrangement, worries abound, including keeping their children safe, maintaining a healthy mental state, and keeping up with their education, not to mention the responsibilities of home, family, and, in many cases, career.
