As the spread of the coronavirus continues, many of us are entering unprecedented territory as schools across the nation close. Parents face the daunting task of having to homeschool their kids.

And it’s baptism by fire.

I for one have always sworn that I would never ever homeschool my three kids, and yet here I am.

And on day 1 of an “indefinite” school closure, I have never valued or missed teachers more. WE LOVE YOU, TEACHERS!

But we don’t have to navigate these stormy seas alone. In addition to the remote support of our teachers and schools, there are online educational sites that have our backs.
