We're facing a unique circumstance this year as the coronavirus (COVID-19) crisis has led to more people working from home and the shut down of school districts in the middle of the school year. For most parents, this means they're attempting to get their kids to do their schoolwork at home.  This can be deeply challenging, so we will step away a bit from the general focus of our podcast and tackle a topic that I have some extensive background in.
