Suggestions for parents whose children will be learning in virtual environments this school year.
Janyce Watkins spent much of 2020 helping her nieces and nephews deal with some of the challenges of online school. I d spend time with them during the school day, helping them with homework, keeping them focused on tasks, Watkins said.
That experience led her to become a member of the N.C. Education Corps, a new program that is sending people across the state to support school districts with such things as tutoring and contact tracing. I d seen how kids have been affected by online learning and the damage it s done to their psyche, Watkins said. I wanted to get on board.
