The Lessons

Learning to calculate area happened in our backyard garden, and it didn’t feel like learning. Learning to make change happened with family at trips to stores. Learning happens in sustained ways during school time; yet learning happens in numerous ways and nearly everywhere.

These days young people are learning at home; and parents quickly have become classroom teachers. The switch may be welcome; it may be overwhelming. Moira Cullings offers encouragement to all parents-turned-teachers:

• “don’t panic”
• “remain calm…confident”
• ”schools' resources are enough”
• take advantage of ”unconventional learning”
• let "older children help...younger ones”

Ms. Cullings concludes with a schedule to help everyone. Read all her encouragement at her post at The Leaven.
