As school boards across the country roll out their distance-learning programs, parents are trying to figure out the best at-home education approach for their kids amid a global pandemic.
Vidya Shah, an assistant professor at York University’s faculty of education says “we are asking too much of parents and teachers and we need to pull back on what the expectations are for children learning at home.”
She went on to say that “learning doesn’t happen because of a perfect, pre-packaged lesson ... Learning is happening everywhere and all the time – in the kitchen when you’re cooking, when you’re going for a walk and in conversation with your children about what’s happening on TV.”
