With schools out until at least the end of the school year, parents are finding themselves with a job they didn’t ask for: teaching. Often while doing their own work from home. Some stick diligently to class schedules, others let the day pass without opening a book. Almost all are left with open questions: How much should we expect kids to be learning? Should I force them to do work against their will? Is it OK to have a week when you only teach how to make cupcakes? We’ve got a panel of experts to help, and we want to hear from you. How is school from home going?
