WHO SUDDENLY HAVE TO HOMESCHOOL
THEIR KIDS -- BECAUSE SCHOOLS
CLOSED FOR AT LEAST THE
NEXT TWO WEEKS -- TO STOP THE
SPREAD OF THE CORONAVIRUS.
WE SPOKE TO SARAH OWEN, AN
EXPERT FROM THE EXTENSION
SERVICE WHO HAD THIS TO SAY.
SARAH OWEN - "first off, is to
organize and to set a plan and
that would include setting up a
specific workspace for their
children.
If you let them sit in various
places quickly things get
chaotic...
Secondly, we think it's very
important that you try to set
some sort of schedule.
You can't be completely strict
because it's a wholeronmen
environment for everybody but if
you set up a daily schedule for
how you'd like your life to
go while you're stuck at home
homeschooling, then it makes it
makes it a little easier...
Another strategy that's really
helpful for homeschooling your
kid s is to allow them to move
around.
"
AMANDA OWEN SAYS IT'S
IMPORTANT TO RISE TO THE
CHALLENGE OF HOME SCHOOLING
BECAUSE WE DON'T KNOW HOW LONG
SCHOOLS WILL BE
CLOSED.
SHE SAYS IT WOULD BE A SHAME IF
A STUDENT HAS A
GAP IN THEIR KNOWLEDGE BECAUSE
HOME SCHOOLING WASN'T DONE
PROPERLY.

FINISH LINE...WE PAUSE
